The complaint alleges that the bank masked payments to a state-owned firm by classifying them as marketing expenses. According to the filing, this scheme was designed to induce deposits by offering higher interest rates, a practice that allegedly breached both internal company policies and regulatory requirements. Plaintiffs claim that these actions led to inflated interest income and distorted operating expenses, rendering the bank's public disclosures during this period materially misleading.
