La Jolla, CA based Silvergate Capital Corporation operates as a bank holding company for Silvergate Bank that provides banking products and services to business and individual clients in the United States. On November 15, 2022, market analysts reported that Silvergate Capital Corporation's exposure to FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange currently experiencing a significant liquidity crisis, could be far greater than the Company had previously represented. Specifically, market analysts suggested that FTX deposits constitute a sizable portion of Silvergate's deposit base and that this is a significant red flag.

Then, on November 17, 2022, research analyst The Bear Cave published a report entitled "The Great Crypto Collapse," which addressed the exposure of Silvergate and other banks to the recent cryptocurrency collapse. Among other items, the report notes that Silvergate is mentioned in a forfeiture application connected to a money laundering operation, which include allegations-supported by documents purportedly produced by Silvergate-that "(i) During the period of September 2021 to June 2022 ten companies had transferred a total of over $425 million dollars off these cryptocurrency trading platforms into accounts held at different US banks, [and] (ii) The accounts were receiving funds in the same pattern as those . . . used to facilitate the laundering of illicit funds."

Shares of Silvergate Capital Corporation (NYSE: SI) declined from $107.89 per share on August 15, 2022, to as low as $18.02 per share on December 13, 2022.

The plaintiff claims that between November 9, 2021 and November 17, 2022, the Defendants failed to disclose to investors that the Company's platform lacked sufficient controls and procedures to detect instances of money laundering, that Silvergate's customers had engaged in money laundering in amounts exceeding $425 million, that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company was reasonably likely to receive regulatory scrutiny and face damages, including penalties and reputational harm, and that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendant's positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Those who purchased shares of Silvergate Capital Corporation (NYSE: SI) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
