According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Danske’s branch in Estonia engaged in money laundering through at least March 2016. The company received a report on this activity from a whistleblower in 2013. The DFSA, Denmark’s Financial Supervisory Authority, began investigating the money laundering allegations in 2014. Danske concealed its own investigations from the DFSA, exposing it to fines and other regulatory actions. At the same time, the Company was overstating profits by including the gains of the money laundering scheme. All the while, Danske lacked effective internal and reporting controls. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading. When the market learned the truth about Danske, investors suffered damages.
