The federal judge’s decision on six shareholder complaints dating from 2017 and alleging accounting fraud came as GE’s stock had fallen and the company was under scrutiny following critical reports by Madoff whistleblower Harry Markopolos and Fitch Ratings that said GE was at high risk for having a multibillion-dollar shortfall in cash set aside to pay insurance claims.
