The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all those who purchased Maiden common stock between March 4, 2014 and November 9, 2018 (the "Class Period"). The case, Wigglesworth v. Maiden Holdings, Ltd. et al., No. 19-cv-05296 was filed on February 11, 2019, and has been assigned to Judge Renee Marie Bumb.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to accurately represent the quality and nature of Maiden’s underwriting and risk management policies and practices and the risks of its reinsurance portfolio.  In reality, the Company had failed to employ sufficient underwriting and risk management protocols and had largely abdicated its responsibility to ensure that its AmTrust Reinsurance segment priced policies commensurate with the risk assumed by the Company.

As the Company’s fraud was gradually revealed through several corrective disclosures, Maiden’s share price declined significantly, causing harm to investors.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. 

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Maiden's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
