NEW YORK, March 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Walter Investment Management Corp. ("Walter" or the "Company") (NYSE: WAC) and certain of its officers, and is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Walter securities between May 3, 2016 and March 13, 2017, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period).

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose that: (1) Walter had a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting; and (2) consequently, defendants' statements about Walter's business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On March 14, 2017, Walter revealed that it had received a subpoena from HUD Inspector General for documents and information relating to origination and underwriting of certain specified loans, that the Justice Department's Civil Division is directing the investigation, and there is a possibility of a demand or a claim under the False Claims Act. Walter also unveiled a material weakness for its Ditech unit, which it is correcting. Following this news, Walter stock dropped $1.05 per share or over 38% to close at $1.65 per share on March 14, 2017.
