Background
The suit is part of a broader industry reckoning over brokerage 'cash sweep' programs, in which firms moved customers' idle cash into affiliated bank accounts paying very low interest — while pocketing much of the spread as rates rose. Oppenheimer's Advantage Bank Deposit Program was alleged to have shortchanged customers on the interest they were owed.
