Notable Quotes 2
Lawsuit alleged that :PE and FTC received funds from a Ponzi scheme dating to the 1980s for which Steven Hoffenberg was convicted in 1997
Will look to see if this was ever flagged in an old KYC. Given that he was never accused of anything at the time, all I can see here is that he ran a hedge fund that went out of business and pursued some enormous deals in the 1980s and 1990s which is consistent with his role as a prominent financier of the time.
