MT Newswires Live05-22 17:35

Goldman Sachs (GS) will settle a class-action lawsuit accusing it of defrauding shareholders about its work for Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB by paying $500 million, Reuters reported Thursday, citing a court disclosure.

Though the suit was settled last month, the settlement amount was disclosed in a filing in a New York federal court Wednesday, the news agency reported.

The settlement still requires approval from a judge, according to the report.

Goldman didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
