Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, is actively investigating potential claims against The Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBBK). The firm is reminding investors of the approaching deadline of May 16, 2025, to apply as lead plaintiff in an ongoing federal securities class action lawsuit against the company. The lawsuit alleges multiple violations of federal securities laws by The Bancorp and its executives. It is claimed that the company made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose critical information, including underrepresenting the risk of default on its real estate bridge loan (REBL) portfolio. The accusations further detail that the company’s methodology for expected credit losses was inadequate, prompting the likelihood of increased provisions for credit losses. Additionally, weaknesses in the company’s internal financial controls were disclosed, casting doubt on the reliability of its financial statements. The issues came to light following a report by Culper Research on March 21, 2024, accusing The Bancorp of significant risks in its REBL loan book. The report criticized the company for its assurances to investors about minimal risk, despite underlying vulnerabilities. Following the report, The Bancorp’s stock price dropped by 10.15%, closing at $32.12 per share. Further revelations on October 24, 2024, saw the company announce unexpected financial results due to adjustments in credit loss provisions, resulting in an additional decline in the stock price. On March 4, 2025, the company admitted its financial statements for 2022 through 2024 could not be relied upon, causing further stock depreciation. The class action lawsuit seeks to address these issues, and Faruqi & Faruqi urges investors with significant losses to consider their options. The lead plaintiff will oversee the litigation, representing the interests of the class members. Interested parties can contact Faruqi & Faruqi for more details. The firm is also inviting individuals with relevant information, including whistleblowers and former employees, to come forward.
