SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 22 – The SEC sued
Alexander Hurgin and his
Israel-based firm Ability,
Inc., whose biggest customer
is "a Latin American police
agency." The product? "Game
changing cellular
interception."
On October
22 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Mary Kay Viskocil held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
talk was of discovery, and how
to get it in Israel. Judge
Vyskocil expressed sympathy,
saying she too have been a
civil commercial litigator.
She ruled that
fact discovery is due by April
20 and that if no summary
judgment motions are made, the
proceeding on March 25 in her
courtroom 18C will serve as a
pre-trial conference.
The case is
Securities and Exchange
Commission v. Hurgin et al.,
19-cv-5705 (Vyskocil)
