April 2, 2008 - An investor in Auction Rate Securities (ARS) of SunTrust Banks Inc (NYSE: STI) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against SunTrust Banks Inc over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws between April 1, 2003 through February 13, 2008.

The complaint alleges that, pursuant to uniform sales materials and/or top-down management directives, SunTrust Banks Inc offered and sold Auction Rate Securities to the public as highly liquid cash-management vehicles and as suitable alternatives to money market mutual funds. According to the complaint, those who now hold Auction Rate Securities sold by SunTrust Banks Inc cannot liquidate their positions since the auction market for these securities has collapsed.
