Vincent Viola, the multi-billionaire owner of the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, is the principal defendant in a class-action lawsuit alleging he used his control of Virtu Financial Inc. to divert more than $400 million in cash from Virtu’s stockholders to “himself and his confederates.”

“And the harm is ongoing,” says the complaint brought by Iron Works Local No. 55 Pension Fund of Toledo, OH.
