Moreover, Signature’s suggestion that DTCC should have been named a defendant lacks merit. Mot. at 2, 4. Although the Complaint alleges weaknesses in DTCC’s system, the Complaint further describes how Signature and the other Defendants took advantage of those weaknesses to collect dividends they were not entitled to receive.

If DTCC's system was so flawed that it allowed this to happen, then I should think DTCC could be considered liable.
