Manhattan prosecutors are seeking to crush efforts by two former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives to avoid a second trial, arguing in new court papers that ample evidence shows the executives intended to deprive lenders and investors of millions of dollars.
Further, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office called it “repugnant” that defendant Joel Sanders, Dewey’s chief financial officer, and others “lined their pockets with millions of dollars” before Dewey’s 2012 collapse. He is now petitioning the court to dismiss his charges “to preserve those very deep pockets,” prosecutors said.
