Arbor Realty is a real estate investment trust or “REIT”.  The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of structured finance assets in the multifamily, single-family rental, and commercial real estates.

According to the complaint, on March 14, 2023, a report was published by NINGI Research alleging that the Company had been “hiding a toxic real estate portfolio of mobile homes with a complex web of real and fake holdings companies for more than a decade.”

The complaint also alleges that on December 5, 2023, Viceroy Research  published a report claiming that Arbor Realty’s CLOs suggest its “entire loan book is distressed and underlying collateral is vastly overstated.”

Finally, on July 12, 2024, Bloomberg reported in an article titled “Arbor Realty Probed by DOJ Over Lending Practices, Loan Book” that “Federal prosecutors and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York are looking into Arbor Realty Trust Inc. on the heels of short seller attacks about the lender’s practices and disclosures, according to people familiar with the matter.”  According to Bloomberg’s report, “[t]he investigators are inquiring about lending practices and the company’s claims about the performance of their loan book. . . .”

On this news, the price of Arbor Realty shares fell $2.64 per share, or 17%, from a close price of $15.53 per share on July 11, 2024 to close at $12.89 per share on July 12, 2024.
