Experience

  • Represented Citibank in two-week bench trial and related appeal arising out of $1 billion mistaken wire transfer, resulting in return of all mistakenly-transferred funds. In re Citibank August 11, 2020 Wire Transfers, S.D.N.Y. 2020.
  • Represented James Im, a former CMBS bond trader at Nomura Securities International, in connection with an SEC-initiated lawsuit alleging federal securities fraud arising out of statements to trading counterparties about acquisition price and ownership. These allegations mirrored criminal charges brought by the DOJ against RMBS traders. After a two-week trial, a Manhattan jury determined that the SEC failed to prove that Mr. Im’s admitted lies amounted to even a civil violation.
