Investment Suit Names UnionBanCal, Law Firm
Staff and Wire Reports
UnionBanCal Corp. and a California law firm face a suit claiming they
conspired to conceal information from U.S. authorities investigating
Reed Slatkin, the bankrupt investment manager who is under criminal
investigation for alleged investment fraud.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of
Los Angeles investor Harry Rockoff, claims that the No. 2 California-
based bank and Slatkin's attorneys at Bryan Cave "conspired with
Slatkin to facilitate the [investment] scheme" and obstruct an
investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The suit, which seeks class-action status, said the bank aided
Slatkin's alleged Ponzi scheme by allowing him to commingle investor
funds and extending him credit. Officials at San Francisco-based
UnionBanCal and Bryan Cave weren't available to comment.
