Benefits
This live audio conference will discuss defenses as applied in Bayou Madoff Petters and other Ponzi scheme and fraudulent transfer cases. While the Ponzi scheme cases are receiving the most attention, many, many fraudulent transfer actions have been launched in other cases, such as Brooke Insurance to recover fraudulent transfers. This audio conference will also cover recent cases such as Teleservices, Fidelity National Title Insurance Co. of New York, Manhattan Investment Fund and Sharp that discuss banks' liability for receiving payments from Ponzi Scheme entities.
