OppenheimerFunds, Inc. was granted summary judgment on a claim for over $700 million brought by a group of banks. The banks-through subsidiaries-invested over $1 billion in a special-purpose vehicle called AAArdvark Funding Limited IV, which was managed by the company. The banks claimed that the company committed fraud and breached various provisions of the relevant contracts in order to induce the banks to continue funding during 2007. The banks sought over $700 million from the company. On April 10, 2013, New York State Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Ramos granted the company's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the claims. The ruling is particularly significant because similar suits, making almost identical allegations, have been filed over two other "AAArdvark" vehicles. In total, the damages sought in these cases potentially exceeded $2 billion.
