Representative Matters:

Represented a hedge fund investor in a suit brought by a bankruptcy trustee to “claw back” investment returns of approximately $700,000 based on allegations that the hedge fund had operated as an unlawful Ponzi scheme.

We obtained a dismissal of the suit based on improper service, overcoming the trustee’s argument that a dismissal would bar the trustee from re-filing suit by virtue of the expiration of the statute of limitations between the original filing and the dismissal.
