The lawsuit, spearheaded by the Rosen Law Firm, claims that Futu Holdings operated its securities, public fund sales, and futures businesses in mainland China without securing necessary licenses from the China Securities Regulatory Commission. According to the complaint, these omissions led to overstated financial results and left the company vulnerable to significant regulatory penalties and the disgorgement of profits.

Investors who acquired stock during the designated class period may be eligible for compensation through a contingency fee arrangement, meaning they would not be responsible for out-of-pocket legal costs. While the court has yet to certify a class, those wishing to participate as a lead plaintiff must file their motion by the August 25 deadline. Investors retain the right to select their own counsel or remain absent members of the class, as serving as a lead plaintiff is not a prerequisite for sharing in any eventual settlement.
