More specifically, the plaintiff claims that defendants made allegedly false and/or misleading statements and/or allegedly failed to disclose that Vipshop Holdings Ltd manipulated and overstated sales, receivables, profit, cash flows, and asset accounts including inventory and investments, that Vipshop Holdings Ltd's financial statements contain GAAP violations by reporting revenue on a 'gross' basis, despite the fact that the vast majority of the company's sales are under a consignment arrangement, that Vipshop Holdings Ltd's internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective, and that as a result of the foregoing, Vipshop's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Vipshop Holdings Ltd reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $227.14 million in 2011 to over $3.77 billion in 2014 and that its Net Loss of $107.27 million in 2011 turned into a Net Income of $137.26 million.

Then on May 12, 2015, a report was published alleging that forensic models suggest Vipshop Holdings Ltd manipulated sales, receivables, profit and other asset accounts; and that Vipshop Holdings' financial statements have been contradicted by management's own disclosures in several instances.
