For years, Benjamin Wey has connected Chinese companies with advisers and investors in the U.S., helping them obtain U.S. stock listings through the sometimes controversial process known as a reverse merger. According his Wall Street investment company’s website, Wey is a financier and China expert who advises governments and Fortune 500 companies. He also bills himself as an “acclaimed” investigative journalist, a champion of American jobs, and a bold defender of free speech and civil rights.
But Wey and his company, New York Global Group, have come under scrutiny from federal authorities and some in the press, and he’s been accused of using a media property owned by NYGG to savagely attack his critics. Now, thanks to a ruling by a federal judge in Manhattan, Wey will have to face one of his accusers head on in an $850 million defamation and sexual harassment suit that’s set to go to trial on Monday.
