On February 28, 2011, Allstate Insurance, represented by Quinn Emanuel, filed complaints against Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse affiliated entities in New York state court in connection with Allstate’s purchase of RMBS from those entities. The complaints follow similar complaints by Allstate against JP Morgan, Washington Mutual, Bear Stearns, Citigroup, and Deutsche Bank entities. The complaints allege that defendants fraudulently misrepresented the quality of the loans underlying the RMBS they underwrote and sold to plaintiff. Both complaints allege causes of action for common law fraud, fraudulent inducement, and negligent misrepresentation. The complaint against Merrill Lynch also adds claims for violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the ’33 Act. Allstate purchased over $167 million in RMBS from Merrill Lynch and over $231 million from Credit Suisse. CS Complaint. Merrill Complaint.
