COURTHOUSE,
Feb 18 – A former employee of
a relocation and education
group of companies owned by a
Chinese national exposed that
the company was not eligible
for COVID era PPP loans, she
says, and got fired in
retaliation. She sued.
On February
18 the plaintiff was on the
witness stand in a bench trial
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Lewis J. Liman.
Inner City Press was there,
the only media in the
courtroom.
Defense
counsel asked about the timing
of the plaintiff's complaints,
and of her firing. She
insisted they were related.
Closing arguments will be on
February 24.
The case is
Accettola v. He, et al.,
1:23-cv-1983 (Liman)
