Shares of Green Dot Corporation traded during January 2011 as high as $64.29 per share.

Then in May 2011, the Florida Attorney General announced an investigation of five prepaid debit card companies, including Green Dot Corporation for possible deceptive and unfair practices. The announcement stated that the Attorney General’s Economic Crimes Division issued a series of subpoenas regarding possible hidden fees on prepaid debit cards and some subpoenas also ask for information about possible misrepresentations promising to improve consumers’ credit scores. The Attorney General’s Office said it has reviewed complaints alleging that the companies servicing prepaid debit cards often fail to disclose numerous fees and in some instances, every transaction a consumer makes using a prepaid debit card may be subject to a hidden fee.

GDOT shares fell from almost $65 per share in January to as low as $25.11 on August 8, 2011.

Those who purchased shares of Green Dot Corporation (Public, NYSE:GDOT), have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
