Citigroup-Mat V and Mat III
(May 22, 2009 - Friday) - Anyone who invested in MAT Five LLC ("MAT Five”), marketed by Citigroup may be entitled to participate in the class action suit against the investment bank. The violation is against the Securities Act of 1933 and Delaware law. This violation essentially occurred in late 2006 continuing on into 2007 when allegedly Citigroup targeted investors that were looking for fixed-income investments that could yield higher returns. Citigroup then marketed municipal bond opportunities, which could prove to be very risky if not managed correctly. When promoting these investments, it is alleged that Citigroup falsified and misrepresented their Mat V fund in regards to its presentation and selling documents.

MAT V is essentially a limited liability corporation that makes investments in limited liability companies through interests issued by "MOF Five". Citigroup has falsified and misrepresented their Private Placement Memorandum, which essentially lead investors to invest in this risky fund without knowing that is was in actuality a risky fund. After the credit crunch occurred, the cash positions and net asset values of the MAT Five fund has been severely and negatively impacted. Investors of the MAT five funds had no idea why this had occurred and were left with a crucial loss to their investments.

Citigroup has acted unlawfully by misrepresenting and falsely promoting their MAT five and MAT three funds. What Citigroup said was safe and secure, was essentially very risky and volatile. Citigroup essentially tried to cover up its client's losses with the credit crunch, however this is not the case. The mismanagement and the high risk of the fund is what allowed a multitude of clients to see an incredible amount of losses in their investments.
