Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Yiren Digital Ltd. Following CreditEase Insolvency and Criminal Investigation
Pomerantz LLP has announced a class action lawsuit against Yiren Digital Ltd. (NYSE: YRD) following significant stock price volatility triggered by legal and financial crises involving its controlling shareholder, CreditEase Holdings (Cayman) Limited. The litigation focuses on potential securities fraud or unlawful business practices related to the sudden suspension of wealth management products worth approximately $4.4 billion. The situation escalated in October 2026 when reports emerged that CreditEase might be insolvent and facing a substantial repayment gap. Furthermore, Chinese authorities launched a criminal investigation into CreditEase, resulting in 'criminal coercive measures' being imposed on Yiren’s founder and CEO, Ning Tang. These developments led to multiple sharp declines in Yiren's ADS price, prompting the appointment of an acting CEO to maintain operational continuity.
