The justices reviewed a 9th Circuit decision in a derivative lawsuit filed by a shareholder under Section 16(b) against 55 underwriters who she alleged defrauded the public by engaging in a host of accounting mechanisms that artificially inflated the price of the issuers' securities to get a higher demand for their initial public offerings.
