According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of SouFun Holdings Ltd (NYSE: SFUN) common shares between May 20, 2015 and October 27, 2015, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between May 20, 2015 and October 27, 2015 Defendants issued allegedly materially false and misleading statements to investors and/or allegedly failed to disclose that SouFun Holdings Ltd employees routinely created “fake contracts”, that Defendants were aware that SouFun Holdings Ltd employees routinely created “fake contracts”, and that as a result, SouFun Holdings Ltd’s public statements were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

SouFun Holdings Ltd reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $637.38 million in 2013 to $702.88 million in 2014 while its Net Income declined from $298.61 million in 2013 to $253.22 million in 2014.

On October 27, 2015, a report was published asserting, among other things that Chinese media sources have been reporting widespread layoffs at SouFun Holdings Ltd as a result of “faked contracts” employees were involved in creating, that other media outlets report that SouFun Holdings Ltd may have had knowledge that these fake transactions were taking place, and that SouFun Holdings Ltd has not made any disclosures in the U.S. regarding these layoffs.
