SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 3 – Kevin Rollag has sued
Cowen and Company after
complaining it accepted
investments into is Cannabis
group from "Vitaly Malkin, a
Russian / Israeli oligarch
banned from Canada for 19
years."
Rollag says his
bonus was slashed and he was
thrown off the cannabis team.
On March 2,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Ronnie Abrams held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Cohen wants
to compel arbitration. It has
made filings with redactions
in nearly every paragraph, and
alleged that Rollag has
engaged in defamation. They
have been told they could
separately sue for that.
On May 3, Judge
Abrams held another proceeding
and Inner City Press again
covered it. Judge Abrams set a
deadline for discovery and a
next conference: October 1.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act claims
are going forward.
The case is
Rollag v. Cowen Inc. et al.,
20-cv-5138 (Abrams)
