Louisiana Corporate Credit Union has emerged victorious from a decade-long suit involving the liquidation of National Century Financial Enterprises. The corporate, in an announcement last week, said it has agreed to a $600,000 settlement with Credit Suisse, the last remaining defendant in the securities fraud case.
"This settlement for nearly $600,000 after legal fees came after years of strenuous litigation and brings the total recovery to 98% of Louisiana Corporate's original investment amount," said David Savoie, president/CEO of the $137 million LaCorp.
Savoie told Credit Union Times the windfall will double LaCorp's retained earnings of $524,000 as of the end of February. To put the extra income into perspective, the Metairie, La.-based corporate's 2013 net income was $378,000. Savoie said he had budgeted for a $191,000 net profit this year.
