The Police Retirement System of St. Louis has filed a federal class action lawsuit against nearly two dozen U.S. banks, claiming the institutions have been manipulating the U.S. Department of Treasury’s market since 2008, violating federal anti-monopoly and anti-trust statutes by sharing with each other competitively sensitive information to move prices in their favor, to the detriment of the class members.
