SILVERGATE’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
The Class Period begins on November 9, 2021. On that day, Silvergate filed its quarterly report on a Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021 which assured investors that the company’s “disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.”

On November 15, 2022, Marcus Aurelius Research tweeted that "[r]ecently subpoenaed Silvergate bank records reveal $425 million in transfers from $SI crypto bank accounts to South American money launderers. Affidavit from investigation into crypto crime ring linked to smugglers/drug traffickers." Following this news, Silvergate’s Class A common stock price fell $6.13, or 17%, to close at $29.36 per share on November 15, 2022.

Then on November 17, 2022, The Bear Cave newsletter released an article about several companies with potential exposure to recently collapsed crypto currency exchange FTX, including Silvergate. The article highlighted the connection linking Silvergate to a money laundering operation that transferred $425 million off crypto currency trading platforms. Following this news, Silvergate’s Class A common stock price fell $3.00, or 10.7%, to close at $24.90 per share on November 18, 2022.

WHAT CAN I DO?
Silvergate investors may, no later than February 6, 2023, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff for the class, through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Silvergate investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information. The class action complaint against Silvergate, captioned Rosa v. Silvergate Capital Corporation, et al. and docketed under 22-cv-01936, is filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California before the Honorable Cathy Ann Bencivengo.

The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
