SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 3 – At 1:22
pm on September 3 SDNY
prosecutors announced
"that DANIEL
KAMENSKY, the founder and
manager of New York-based
hedge fund Marble Ridge
Capital (“Marble Ridge”), was
charged in a Complaint in
Manhattan federal court with
securities fraud, wire fraud,
extortion, and obstruction of
justice. KAMENSKY’s
alleged criminal acts
occurred in connection
with his scheme to pressure a
rival bidder to abandon its
higher bid for assets in
connection with Neiman
Marcus’s bankruptcy
proceedings so that Marble
Ridge could obtain those
assets for a lower
price. KAMENSKY then
attempted to persuade the
rival bidder to cover up the
scheme. KAMENSKY was
arrested today and is expected
to be presented before
Magistrate Judge James L. Cott
this afternoon."
Inner City Press live tweeted
the presentment, about two
hours later, below. The
prosecutors agreed that
Kamensky could be released the
same day on $250,000
bond.
But while Inner
City Press and at least three
others waited from the time of
presentment until 7 pm for
Kamensky to come out of the
SDNY courthouse, covering both
the Pearl Street and Worth
Street doors, he apparently
did not appear.
Meanwhile in the
same Magistrates Court, a man
charged with shooting a gun in
The Bronx, and with
claustrophobia, was ordered
detained.
Inner City
Press could not live tweet
that one, being in a
collective stake out - but
will write a story later
despite the prosecutors not
publicizing the case and the
docket number not being give.
Here's from the Kamensky's
proceeding:
AUSA: Surrender
all travel documents,
restricted to SDNY, EDNY, NDNY
and South Florida with
pre-approval. No contact with
witnesses outside of Marble
Ridge except in presence of
counsel, and with those
inside, nothing about this
case
AUSA: Kamensky to
be released today, with
co-signers to be interviewed
by Sept 10. $250,000 bond
(half of that required
yesterday for UN rapist
Elkorany).
Judge Cott:
Preliminary hearing?
Retained
counsel: Waive to 30th day.
The case is US v.
Kamensky, 20-mj-9381 (Cott).
