According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Fifth Third employees engaged in unauthorized activity with customer accounts due to the Company's aggressive cross-sell incentives. The Company had been aware of the behavior since at least 2008, placing it in violation of consumer protection laws and regulations. The Company failed to maintain appropriate controls on its cross-selling invectives, including detecting and stopping misconduct. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Fifth Third, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
