SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 8 – Robert Koch
pleaded guilty to "pump and
dump" security fraud in 2010.
Thereafter Caro Capital LLC
hired him but only to work on
"discrete, one-off project
that were not prohibited by
Koch's criminal
history."
Then came Brian
John, Richard Miller and ther
Jupiter Wellness, Inc. seeking
to go public selling
cannabidiol CBD sunscreen and
eczema treatments.
They dumped
Koch, knowing that his
conviction would undermine
them selling
securities. But,
they claim, Koch then tried to
extort them for $9 million.
They sued.
On October
8 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Liman said
all depositions must be
completed by March 5, and to
be ready for trial by July 30,
with a three day trial
anticipated.
The case is Caro
Capital, LLC et al v. Koch et
al., 20-cv-6153 (Liman)
