The lawsuits had accused Moody's and S&P of negligent misrepresentation over their activities regarding the Cheyne and Rhinebridge structured investment vehicles. An S&P spokesman confirmed on Friday that the cases have settled. Moody's and Morgan Stanley, which marketed both SIVs and helped structure the Rhinebridge SIV, have also settled, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday. Moody's and Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
