A Credit Suisse spokesperson said the bank is “extremely pleased that the jury agreed with us that plaintiffs’ case had no merit.”
During the trial in Manhattan federal court which began on October 11, jurors heard testimony that in 2015 five banks had pleaded guilty to forex-related antitrust conspiracies, and saw transcripts from chat rooms with names such as “The Cartel” where investors said traders colluded. A lawyer for the investors argued during the trial that chat transcripts were damning evidence of a single conspiracy among the banks to rig the foreign currency market. Credit Suisse traders participated in more than 100 chat rooms and shared information about the spread between the buy and sell price for currencies every other day, he said.
Credit Suisse in July settled with some investors, including BlackRock and Allianz SE’s Pimco, which chose to “opt out” of the class litigation. Investors typically do that when they hope to recover more by suing on their own. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
