Here's the actual suit. https://www.classaction.org/media/cottle-et-al-v-plaid-inc.p....

I wrote a post above on my take but TL;DR - I think that the suit is mostly alleging that Plaid doesn't do enough disclosure of what's happening behind the scenes. It suggests that Plaid might sell the data to unrelated third parties, but doesn't support it with any proof. It does support itself with proof that Plaid "sells" data to the app that is being connected to the bank.
