Case Background:
On December 12, 2017, the initial complaint in this securities class action was filed against Qudian, Inc. (“Qudian” or the “Company”), and certain of Qudian’s directors and officers, asserting violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. This is a federal securities class action on behalf of all persons who purchased Qudian American Depositary Shares in or traceable to the Company’s October 18, 2017 initial public offering (the “IPO”).
Plaintiff alleges Defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements in the IPO’s Registration Statement by failing to disclose that: (1) Qudian’s loan collection practices were materially deficient and/or nonexistent as the Company treated bad loans as welfare, and (2) Qudian’s data systems and procedures were materially inadequate to safeguard sensitive borrower data against breach, and that breaches had occurred.
