Back in 2002, when I broke the NCFE billion dollar bond fraud case, I sued Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s. Portions of the case have been reported in National Law Books, See Parrett v. Bank One, N.A. (In re Nat’l Century Fin. Enters. Inv. Litig.), 323 F.Supp.2d 861, 878 (S.D. Oh. 2004).

My fellow lawyers were suspicious of such claims because, most efforts to hold ratings agencies liable for the financial crisis have failed, but on Thursday two institutional investors got the green light to go to trial with claims that they were misled by the top ratings that Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch gave to a $1.1 billion structured investment vehicle called Rhinebridge. District judge Shira Scheindlin in Manhattan also allowed the plaintiffs to proceed with their claims against Morgan Stanley, which structured and marketed Rhinebridge. We were right all along!
