Refco Attorney Faces Fraud Charge
Refco Attorney Faces Fraud Charge
An indictment of Joseph Collins, Refco's lawyer for a decade, has been in the wind for some time. This week it became a reality.
While the murmurs about his own legal troubles swirled, Collins saw his firm, Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw become a class action lawsuit target brought by angry shareholders of the now defunct commodity trading firm.
Collins has plead not guilty to the 11-count indictment filed by U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, which alleges securities fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy. A separate civil complaint from the SEC was also filed.
Check out further comment on the Collins case from Thomas O. Gorman at Porter, Wright's SEC Action blog. Bookmark the blog while you're there if you follow the SEC. Good stuff.
