NEW YORK, April 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in BofI Holding, Inc. ("BofI Holding" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BOFI) of the June 2, 2017 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.

The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California on behalf of all those who purchased BofI Holding securities between April 28, 2016 and March 30, 2017 (the "Class Period"). The case, Mandalevy v. BOFI Holding, Inc. et al, No. 3:17-cv-6667 was filed on April 3, 2017, and has been assigned to Judge Larry Alan Burns.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (i) BofI Holding was engaged in unlawful conduct; (ii) when the aforementioned conduct became known, it would subject the Company to heightened regulatory scrutiny and potential criminal sanctions; and (iii) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading.

Specifically, pre-market on March 31, 2017, the New York Post released an article disclosing that the Company was the subject of a probe relating to possible money laundering. The article states that the probe is being led by the Justice Department and also involves the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Treasury Department.

On this news, BofI Holding's share price fell from $27.58 per share on March 30, 2017 to a closing price of $26.13 on March 31, 2017—a $1.45 or a 5.26% drop.
