Ex-Capital One employee files whistleblower lawsuit

Thu Jun 12, 2008 6:08pm EDT


NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former underwriter who says she was forced to resign after blowing the whistle on fraud at Capital One Financial Corp's (COF.N) subprime mortgage unit filed a $51 million lawsuit against her former employer on Thursday.


According to the suit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Rachel Steinmetz said she was forced into an "involuntary resignation" by her superiors in retaliation for refusing "to approve fraudulent, unlawful and bad loans" and reporting the activities to her superiors and authorities.


Capital One did not immediately return a call seeking comment.


Steinmetz had worked as a senior underwriter at GreenPoint Mortgage before its December 2006 acquisition by Capital One, according to the lawsuit.


She claims she was forced by superiors to approve loans that contained fraudulent information and that her bosses waited until she was out of the office to approve loans that she had denied.


In June 2006, she said she was forced to resign after her employers made her work environment intolerable.


Steinmetz reported her concerns about illegal activity to the New York State Banking Department and accused her former employer of violating Sarbanes-Oxley and banking "whistleblower" protections by forcing her to resign, according to the lawsuit.


Capital One shuttered GreenPoint Mortgage last August in the midst of the subprime mortgage crisis. It had acquired the unit less than a year earlier as part of its $13.2 billion deal for North Fork Bancorp Inc.


Steinmetz is seeking compensation for lost wages, bonuses and benefits of no less than $1 million and punitive damages of at least $50 million, plus interest and costs, according to the suit.

Finkelstein, Thompson and Loughran Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Capital One Financial Corp.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 5, 2002, Finkelstein,

Thompson & Loughran filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, on behalf

of purchasers of the securities of Capital One Financial Corporation ("Capital

One" or the "Company") (NYSE: COF) (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=cof&d=t)

between January 15, 2002 and July 16, 2002, inclusive (the "Class Period").

 

The complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and SEC Rule 10b-5, by issuing a series

of materially false and misleading statements relating to the nature of

Capital One's business operations, which caused Capital One's stock price to

become artificially inflated.

 

During the Class Period, Capital One announced that each quarter resulted

in record revenues and earnings and that the Company was well-capitalized and

had attained an excellent credit performance. However, the complaint alleges

that these reports were materially false and misleading because Capital One

omitted that, in breach of regulatory guidelines released on January 31, 2001,

it had been under-reserving for subprime loans and was undergoing severe

infrastructure inadequacies, with respect to its credit-risk assessment and

the Company's information system.

 

When it was revealed that federal regulators had instructed the Company to

increase its loan loss reserves and improve the technology that Capital One

uses to provide loans and credit cards to subprime consumers, the price of

Capital One common stock plunged, declining 39% from a close of $50.60 per

share on July 16, 2002, to close at $30.48 per share on July 17, 2002.

 

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all those who purchased or

otherwise acquired Capital One securities during the Class Period and is

represented by the law firm of Finkelstein, Thompson & Loughran, of

Washington, DC. Finkelstein, Thompson & Loughran has over thirty years of

securities litigation experience, has broad experience in representing

defrauded investors in shareholder class actions, and has been appointed to

lead positions in many such actions in federal and state courts throughout the

United States.


If you bought or otherwise acquired securities of Capital One between

January 15, 2002 and July 16, 2002, you may request that the Court appoint you

as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a person who acts on behalf of other

class members in directing the litigation. Any member of the proposed class

who wishes to move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff must do so no later

than September 17, 2002. In order to serve as lead plaintiff, you must meet

certain legal requirements. If you have any questions concerning this notice

or your rights or interests, please contact Conor R. Crowley or Donald J.

Enright with Finkelstein, Thompson & Loughran, at 202-337-8000, or by e-mail

at crc AT ftllaw.com or dje AT ftllaw.com.
