SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 28 – Bloomfield Investment
Resources Corporation sued
Elliott Daniloff for deceit
and manipulation in a scheme
to steal $25 million to
purportedly develop a poultry
farm in
Russia.
On June 17, 2021 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge Cave
offered to hold a settlement
conference on July 15, and
explained to the parties the
rules. She said that for
settlement conferences now in
the SDNY, if all of the
parties are vaccinated, they
do not need to wear
masks.
Still, the
parties said they prefer
video.
Jump cut to
October 25, 2022. The case did
not settle, and is now the
subject of a bench trial
before the assigned District
Judge Victor Marrero.
On the witness
stand was Daniloff himself,
being questioned about his tax
returns for 2010 and 2011
(losses over $200,000 reported
in each year), and an IRS Form
1040 with 2013 marked "Do Not
File." Then he recounted going
to Bates University, then
Solomon Smith Barney until it
was bought by Citigroup.
On October 26, a
witness walked through his
emails with Daniloff about
UMG-Dubai and UMG-Russia, and
the investment strategies of
the Reuben brothers, David and
Simon, who would own 90% of
the Dubai entity which would
own 100% of the UMG-Russia.
On October 28,
this: "Minute Entry for
proceedings held before Judge
Victor Marrero: Bench Trial
completed on 10/27/2022.
