Cyrulnik Fattaruso LLP secured a voluntary dismissal with prejudice for our client Robert (Bob) Weinstein of fraud claims asserted against him by his brother, Harvey, in an action pending in the New York State Supreme Court’s Commercial Division. Harvey’s complaint alleged that Bob—who co-founded The Weinstein Company (TWC) with Harvey—and two other employees of the famed movie studio fraudulently induced Harvey to personally guarantee a $45 million loan to support TWC’s operations and then diverted the proceeds for personal use and other improper purposes, purportedly leaving Harvey on the hook for the debt. Although Harvey continues to pursue his case against the other defendants, CF was able to obtain a voluntary dismissal of Harvey’s claims against Bob, without the need for Bob to provide any consideration or enter into a settlement agreement.
CF Partner Brian Kohn led the firm’s representation of Bob Weinstein.
