"Jersey, Philip Selinger, who says Weinstein was still on supervised release when he defrauded investors by making false promises involving humanitarian supplies destined for Ukraine. Another Ponzi scheme. Five defendants, including defendant Elianne Weinstein, have been charged in the District of New Jersey by criminal complaint with conspiring to defraud investors out of tens of millions of dollars and conspiracy to obstruct the justice. Weinstein is now back in jail after bail was denied and he's charged, along with four other men, of defrauding more than 150 investors out of $35 million by falsely promising to invest their money in COVID -19 masks, scarce baby formula and first aid kits bound for Ukraine. It's the third time Weinstein has been charged this by U .S. Attorney's Office. He pleaded guilty to the earlier Ponzi scheme in January of 2013 and served eight years of the 22 -year sentence. In 2014, while he was still in prison, he got another two years tacked onto his sentence after pleading guilty to his role in a separate fraud involving the initial public offering of Facebook and now this current case. Joining me is Bloomberg legal reporter David Voryakis. So tell us about the first scheme. Ellie Weinstein was convicted in federal court in New Jersey a decade ago for a real estate Ponzi scheme that primarily preyed on Orthodox Jews in the Lakewood, New Jersey area. He pleaded guilty eventually and admitted that he stole about $200 million from his victims. While he was out on bail on that case, he was also arrested in a separate scheme that involved investing in pre -IPO shares of Facebook, which turned out to be a crime. He was detained for his release and a lot of the people were from the Orthodox Jewish community, which is the community that he stole from. That's correct. He got a group of supporters, including some of his victims, a group of congressmen, Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, a couple of former U .S. attorneys, and other supporters to campaign for his release. The White House announced on Trump's last day in office that he was among those who were getting commutations. They a put release out citing that he was the father of seven children and a loving husband and that he had contained an exemplary prison history and that he would have the strong support from his community and members of his faith. He served nearly eight years in prison when he was released. So so now tell us about the scheme that he's accused of now and when it allegedly started. Prosecutors say that his latest crimes began not after long he got out of prison. He used several other conspirators to convince people to invest in COVID -19 masks, scarce baby formula and first aid kits bound for Ukraine. They say that this time around there were a hundred investors who put up thirty five million dollars. I believe they were friends and family of Weinstein and the other conspirators in the case cracked The government the case as I understand it because a couple of the who conspirators were not charged with crimes secretly recorded him and he made a number of admissions on those tapes including he said I finagled and ponzied and lied to people to cover us and He told one conspirator that he hid his true identity behind the alias of Mike Koenig because he said no one would ever give you a penny if they knew who I was because I have a bad reputation. So the US Attorney said that these were brazen and sophisticated crimes that involved multiple conspirators and drew right from Weinstein's playbook of fraud. So was it the same kind of things he was doing as he was convicted of in a Ponzi scheme too? That's what they've used an alias and he hid behind other people because he didn't want the world to know that he was committing these kinds of crimes again. He convinced people to put up money and then he used the money from later investors to pay earlier investors. Yeah, and the allegation is that in February of 2022, almost immediately after. These two companies one that Weinstein ran under a false name and another that was owned and controlled by two of the other conspirators almost immediately after they started receiving investor money they were unable to pay investors so they allegedly agreed to pull the and money use it to make monthly payments to other investors in this Ponzi scheme while telling investors the payments were from legitimate investment returns so allegedly repeating of the past and what about the money you were supposed to pay in restitution he had a restitution order totaling about two hundred thirty million dollars and He had only paid a little more than a million dollars of that he also has a series of civil judgments that are not covered by his criminal restitution order you mentioned that there were secret recordings in which Weinstein made admissions does that mean that the FBI has flipped one or more people there's clearly people around Weinstein who are cooperating with the FBI in this investigation one of the people talked you to said that Weinstein's conduct is unique explain what he meant well the special agent in charge of the New Jersey office said it's a very rare day that we announced we've arrested a man who's already been arrested convicted sentenced to prison and then received a presidential commutation I take it it's the commutation part that makes this different because people come in and out of prison unfortunately all the time right because presumably when his sentence was commuted this was on the promise that he would never do this kind of criminal activity again and according to these new allegations he started this new scheme shortly after he was released so prosecutors have charged E4 others with wire fraud conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct justice he's also accused of hiding his illicit business activities and his assets to avoid paying that 228 .7 million dollars in restitution he still owes to his victims and the Securities and Exchange Commission has also filed the lawsuit right they sued essentially the same cast of characters saying that he committed securities fraud presumably that civil regulatory action would take a backseat to the criminal prosecution while it's ongoing coming up next on the Bloomberg Law Show I'll continue this conversation with Bloomberg legal reporter David Voryakis and we'll talk about why the SEC's Enforcement actor already knows Weinstein in other legal news today Tesla won another chance to challenge an NLRB decision that CEO Elon Musk illegally threatened workers by tweeting that they would lose stock options if they unionized the Court of Appeals for the Fifth has granted Tesla's request for a rehearing on bank that means the full appeals court will consider the case after a three -judge panel in May had upheld the national labor relation board's ruling the NLRB had ordered Tesla in March of 2022 to direct to delete the offending tweet which was first posted in May of 2018 the company hasn't taken down that tweet as it fights the board's order in court and attorneys looking for legal research whether you're an in -house counsel or in private practice Bloomberg Law gives you the edge with the latest in AI powered legal analytics business insights and workflow tools with guidance from our experts you'll grasp the latest trends in the legal industry helping you achieve better results for the practice of law, the business of law, the future of law visit bloomberglaw .com I'm Jim Grosso and you're listening to Bloomberg. economics chairman paul looks brilliant off of this planet some breaking news for you a share sale investment you're still seeing some momentum intact bloomberg surveillance you want some volatility tom please you want me to go there tom king, Jonathan Pero, Lisa Abramowitz and the names that shape the chief executive officer J .P.

She was willing to let him be on the committee. Oh yeah so you know it. She drew a line and it was a clear bright line that no reasonable person would object to. Unless you're kevin mccarthy who's more terrified about being subpoenaed by the committee then the committee not happening so yeah good vibes to nancy pelosi. Well played sometimes she really just knocks it. Out of the park. We've got some tots in pairs to yes first. Energy corporation based in akron. Ohio has agreed to pay a two hundred thirty million dollar fine for its role in a bribery scheme. I was shocked when i read this. I mean the goal of the bribery scheme was to get legislation passed that included a one hundred billion dollar bailout for two of its power plants and they lobbied political officials most notably former ohio. House speaker representative. Larry householder and the government. Alleges he did the companies bidding in return for money like sixty million dollars. According to federal indictments were funneled from first energy corporation to householder through his aides other political officials and five. Oh one c. Four group petty has and householder has been federally indicted for his role which is good but he still maintains his innocence. But the two hundred and thirty million dollar fine is the largest criminal penalty ever collected as far as anybody can recall in the history of the office. So i'm glad that they're being held accountable. But i i don't think two hundred thirty million and nuff you know. I'm reminded about when i lived in cleveland once again. don't bring up cleveland. I think this is most of ever talked to you about having lived in cleveland ever before in our relationship but my husband worked for a steel mill. And they're active. View was it was cheaper to pay the fines. Then to run clean smokestacks and that is a fundamental flaw in the american relationship like epa or whatever the government's relationship to american corporations that they've made it too cheap to break the law..

Bergen mckesson they knew very well that their pills their opioid pills were being diverted in ways that were causing massive addiction.

"two hundred thirty million dollars" Discussed on The No Film School Podcast
"All right our first story this week. Amc entertainment has sold two hundred and thirty million dollars in stock in order to go on a buying spree. they're already talking to the landlords of arclight cinemas pacific theatres. some of the movie chains. One of the things that happened in a pandemic or crisis is that some of the small players fall because they don't have enough cash or ability to raise cash to survive while bigger players that either have the cash or the ability to borrow cash and ab- scooping them up and i think that's what we're about to see we're about to see amc gonna buying spree of a bunch of little feeder jane's regionals and things like that that could have individually survived like the crazy thing is so it's not like amc had this money went and raise this money so arkley could also like investors could have just invested straight in arc light instead of investing game see to by arc light but there's this belief among certain investment groups. That bigger is better in there will be efficiencies of scale and like i guess there might be i guess. Amc might be able to get like cheaper popcorn buying it bigger volume and they'll have more powers negotiations with the studios. Here's a line from the from the article on the rap about this we also have coverage on it on no film school but the new deal The recent market surge has enabled the new deal since the eight point. Five million shares represent a small portion of the current trading volume. That's a wall street jargon. This transaction underscores the real value of having some authorized share capital available for us to opportunistically capitalize on shareholder value creation possibilities as and when they arise with our increase liquidity and increasing vaccinated population blah blah blah blah timeframe to go on the offense. So it's sort of like that's part of the the size and scale that affords them the ability to get their hands on this kind of cash quickly to make this kind of deal. That's my reading of that but it sounds like that's the reasoning. Why it's amc. I guess and not having the ability to get that kind of authorized share capital. What that means now. I feel like i need a glossary. Is it always goes back to we. Have this idea that like there are natural forces that are actually the results of design and so the way our stock markets are designed to operate is. They're designed to favor bigger organizations that think in shorter-term increments and so like if we redesigned our stock market. Which like. i don't know how to do. But i'm sure i'm sure there's a lot of people great ideas that favored longer term investments. That paid out money over time and favored smallness instability. It would have been easier for smaller companies to find those direct investments. I remember once. I met an investor and a coffee shop. It's a long story but we're like sitting three in a row and a coffee shop in someone else was like telling like the table next to us. Someone was saying about a need they had. I owned a company that time that provided that i like interrupted their conversation to be like. Oh hey i actually do what you need. You should call me. Give my card and the guy was like that was a really smooth way to do that. And we like a long conversation about sales and wind up people and stuff. And then i tried to put him in an idea and he was like. I'm really not interested in anything. That's not a core technology that will make billions of dollars. And i was like yeah. I don't have any like that. He's like yeah of course but like And it was one of those moments where i was like you know. Investors want tax returns investors. Big you know all of those things and so like does bum me out. That it's like. I really wish that somehow that two hundred like that the market. I don't blame any individual player in this but it would be awesome if our market were designed such that two hundred and thirty billion dollars could just be separately given to each of the individual little movie theater chains to keep doing what they are doing. As opposed to having to be given to one entity that will then go up by all the others and like that's can you realize names e in particular. Yeah yeah no i have. You make really good point. Amazing i think knocking min height myself before i say it but i think i have a really good corollary to industry creative experience in the film making industry. Which is that when you say you're a writer or director and you have a bunch of properties you're working on like ideas and you take a bunch to your manager and agent and they start trying to sell them. They will always take the ideas they think are the most profitable to the biggest companies. Because they're not that interested in small games because they get a small piece. They are interested the first they wanna they want to hunt the biggest game i because they're only going to get a certain amount like the hyenas that they are. Just kidding. 'cause you're doing the hunting right. They're just getting a percent. I'm just kidding they. They're they're whatever hunt you hunt and kill with your you know creative with your manager. Agent that manager agent is getting ten percent fifteen percent so or whatever so that i think the correlation is that amc is for the investor. It's the biggest bet. It's the biggest by. You're going to get the biggest chunk. Your tiny chunk is going to be a bigger chunk whereas if it's small investors then the junk is going to be smaller because the total is smaller. So i think that that's why we see this across all things in business where you know i. I am surprised. Honestly that we haven't seen in all this an amazon decide to buy an amc yet or frankly not just low but that was the other thing that was interesting in. This is like only two hundred and thirty million dollars like there's movies that cost two hundred thirty million dollars like this is too small potatoes for amazon. To care about like amazon's only ever bought two or three things ever and they're all in the billions of dollars range and mike. This is like why doesn't apple. Let's let's like. I wonder aloud. Why just say like hey you know what. Let's by all the movie theater like everywhere like why not right now would be the perfect time to just be like we own movie theaters like if you see a movie theater. You're seeing in an apple theater. Theory i wanna hear it. I'm curious dying model. No because that's no. I don't think i think that anybody. I don't think it's dying model. My grand children will still see movies in theaters. Like what's coming. The only be like one hundred people left on earth. But i think they'll still fire up the movie theater on friday nights. No i mean apple's not buying movie theaters because aesthetically. They're not interested in them. If every movie theatre had been built most in years and all had glass stairways the vast majority of them. They all like spaceships. Yeah the ugliest ones are the most revenue beneficial. The beautiful ones are still not apple. Beautiful right like be addiction. The are still like not anything. Apple is interest the end but then why does it networks netflix's basically in crazy debt. But don't you feel like net flicks would be a really interesting like we own the mood. The we are movies. It's part of our brand like it would be cool if netflix defined its friend beyond just we have a bunch of nasr really in their name though. Yeah yeah that's literally. But then i was on was known for like i'm sorry county just but but the that's true but then the thing with amazon to me. That's amazing is. They started opening bookstores because they were born to destroy the bookstore. None of.

Woody show Maria latest in entertainment sports according to the government censors in china have cut out some segments from the friends reunion show. We don't like that walk that they don't like it didn't have anything to do with the friends per se but all these guests that they have on So segments featuring lady gaga justin bieber bt s of all upset china in the past. So they're out. Oh so they actually. They have a good version of the reunion. Lady gaga got on china's bad signed because she met with the dalai lama scandalous justin bieber. Once posted a photo at japan's You should kuna shrine. You should kuni shrine that honors. Japan's fallen soldiers including war criminals. Apparently china does not like that s apparently has gotten under china's skin for various offenses including overlooking china's contributions to the korean war. They're out all right. It'll be more streamlined. Wrong it'll be better way better nicer. Run time then. The hundred and four minutes regarded parts. you can't cut out james corden because he does the whole a true sorry. Cgi can can they scrub him out. Somebody else in there wasn't terrible. I will say he wasn't. It wasn't terrible cheerleader. But it wasn't even that long like his portion wasn't even that long. Yeah that's good speaking of the reunion. Show the guy who directed it says matthew perry was great to work with because a lot of people are like all matthew berry snow off the wagon. That's all anybody saying about his appearance on the special. You said the director said people can sometimes be unkind and i wish they weren't. I loved working with him. He's brilliantly funny man. And i thought he had some great one liners in the show and i just felt happy and lucky to be in his presence in directing him on something like this. I'm sorry i think the funniest part is matt leblanc when they go to see where they signed the set and what matt leblanc. I won't give it away but what he wrote on. The back of it is so funny. Well there's like a lot of means going around about how matt leblanc is everybody's drunk like favorite drunk uncle lake in a good way. He didn't take any of seriously. Yeah yeah it's pretty weird. How like. Joey was the lamest france but matt leblanc was the coolest guy in the special right now. What a difference. A year makes especially in a case of a emc theaters. That's my theater chain of choice because it's closest to me during pandemic. Amc nearly went bankrupt but now they're back for business and raising capital. They raised just over two hundred thirty million dollars and they plan to revamp some of their existing properties and they're going to purchase additional cinema leases. And they're looking at arc light amp pacific theatres. Both chains recently declaring their own bankruptcy. So they've gone out of business. An amc is looking to grab some of these properties and expanse of a stock is going up and down like crazy. I sold it when there was that whole crazy. You know that read gang drove the stock up really high. So i did sell it but i do frequent the amc theaters. So i think. That's good enough Meanwhile if i can address this for one second somebody texted over here calling me a lying liar. Because i want to save quiet place to ankara ella over memorial day weekend and they said that i said i was never going back to the theatre which i did not say i said. I don't wanna shake anybody's hand anymore. Yes some kind of skittish about being like in a confined space with a crowd. But i was always going back to the theater and i said i thought that was weird that i don't want to do all these other things but all good. Yes history to me. That is typical. What he one person will text over and all.

Chris would editor and publisher business. Magazine joins us know presented by the j nine agencies. Let's get to the bottom of the hour news weather center. What's happening in your own. Backyard listened to no co- now with tanner's swint a northern colorado's voice. Thirteen ten k of k ten thirty seven. So we we've been talking with. Chris would editor and publisher of biz. West long enough that now. He's like expecting me to pick up some of the analogy. Like i feel like we've got a quiz because we're talking about specs. Spic came and apparently we've talked about this before he even put this his nose. He's like hey. We've talked about this before so mike. Okay i'm like racking my head on my watery. do learn. What a unicorn was k. So chris would editor publisher business. Chris before we go. Can we have like a review like can we. Can we review a little bit before we dive into these. Yeah absolutely it. We have to do this myself a lot of times when we when we talk about some of these things but that kind of underlying theme today of Grief referring to A unicorn another unicorn which will get into spec. A back is a special purpose. I it's special purpose. Acquisition corporation and Back is essentially a shell company that is formed and goes public with the intent to merge with another company so back itself. doesn't really have any products it doesn't do any business but it has public status it's publicly traded and they are formed As a way for companies to go public without going through all of the time and expense of an ipo. So we've seen it many times here this year already With companies that are merging with spats as a way to go public And they've they've really kicked the in over the last year and a half we've seen nationally a wave of spats have been around for a long time but they literally they exploded here in the last year and a half partly because of the pandemic and it's tough for a company to do a traditional ipo It takes a long time for that to get through the securities and exchange commission. Us back is If you're a if you have a track record as someone who has Succeeded with companies. And we've got an example here of Brad bell very prominent boulder Venture capitalist and entrepreneur. He's invested in dozens of companies. One of the founders. A cat stars An accelerator out of boulder which has chapters around the world now and Techstars he founded with jared polis and david cohen. David brown Very famous Accelerator one of the one of the original accelerators around the world Well brad felt has now formed back. I believe it's his second one This year A spat Once it is formed Has i believe about two years in order to find a merger acquisition candidate But this one Brad belt is now seeking to raise up to two hundred thirty million dollars with Another spac It's just just over the The two hundred twenty five million that he raised earlier this year in january For a back and once these are formed in the back goes out and they they seek merger acquisition candidates as a way for that target company then to go public using the public status of of the sack. so brad bell now Doing another one i counted. I think around january. There were about three Packs that were being formed in boulder alone seeking to raise more than a billion dollars in one of those was Brad belts two hundred twenty. Five million dollar raise Through a company called crucible acquisition corporation. Now he is launching a crucible acquisition corporation to Real creative with the name they're exactly but but that's That is a definitely a wave. We we've seen it with a number of companies and and now We have another one To report with so many logic a Biotech company out of boulder. They are now going public With pay through a back merger and this merger values them at one point two three billion dollars which cater makes them. It makes them a unicorn absolutely very good no being a startup that achieves a billion dollars or more in valuation right right right and so while we're talking about this a little bit to these companies going public. Another reason that i would have to imagine. Chris why these packs are so appealing is because not only you know some of these new New companies when they go public. There's a little bit Of worry i guess about them right there. They don't feel confident. This puts a backing of a bigger name or a bigger company. This is oh. He's behind him then i it breeds that confidence. Maybe a.

"That carry moles didn't say that. Here's what the correction says. Correction the verdict of this fact. Jack has been chained from false to misleading. The same thing. That did with ben swann. Same thing to do with with james watson wiler. They can't ever even admit that. Got it wrong. They just go well. It's misleading because this truth is used to deceive you. That is n- nineteen eighty-four. Thile the same thing is the side of the box of mass. That say they don't work. You can just post what it literally says. They'll call it fake news. Because you're using the truth to mislead people that is alarming but to continue it says the verdict of this back check has been changed from false misleading to reflect that the quote examined the one to carry. Moe's may have been a fair reflection of his views. That's what it says. Even if not a direct quote. And i understand the people who the really fact and people like me that never made a direct quote. The people of the text the body of the text is updated in places to further clarify. Oh so we'll leave the headline that says fake news. But we'll quietly say at the top and the most you'll probably skip that and just complete. The point is it's infantile the way that they're handling the stuff yes carry. Mola's did say that. This should be used this way. And they're telling you that right now but yet all the people that thought they saw this year ago or so you'd be months ago are gonna toast the guy saw reuters. You're lying about that carey. Mo- was very clearly expressed his opinion that this test is not should not be used the way they're using it today and now even the fact check with the same fake headline is confirming that. That was the truth. How pathetic is that. Meanwhile people like me are censored for multiple platforms for trying to give you all sides of a position trying to give you data for you to research for yourself. You get the moral the story. They don't want you thinking for yourself. Now let's talk about the test. That biden is bringing in. That will keep this illusion going now. This is interesting because what we're talking about here is a lateral flow antigen test. This test is something that has already been discussed as potentially having lots of false positives and really showing you this but on top of what else it do that obvious concern as they pretend that it's ninety five percent accurate which is not. I argue not even close to what we're gonna be dealing with there. They're going to transition to this in my opinion and it's going to continue the same manipulation if they so choose the same way. The pcr could be padded manipulated to make it look like something. Moore's happening on top of that. It's about how the data is immediately transmitted transmitted back to a. I would argue government entity and on top of that it gets you familiarized with using your phone an app and sending your medical information which is just a small cry way from vaccine passports. It's all about getting you worked in to the system trying to build. Maybe it's possible that the pcr thing was planned for all. I know me that this is not something we should balk at. But biden has approved two hundred thirty million dollars of your money for covert home test. Kits that take fifteen.

Not knowing whether this once in a generation talent is on their team or not. It's not good for your franchise And so you know he's gonna make a decision. One way or the other. I i i would.

I can't imagine dick montfort will pick jeff by over nolan arnaldo if it comes down to that but you're right you're right though there's so much to it and again so much of it could be. I'm not saying it's gonna leave ep. We've all seen social media. We've seen how people are but if you come out and at least start saying all right. Here's where we are. The the problem is he's so quickly use that you're there all the time. He's so quick with you guys. He's he puts you off so fast and he's like no. We're not talking about that. That the topic. That's what we want to hear about. We're the fans we we are going to your games but We'll go to those games again nolan.

You don't have to open the door for us but give us an idea of what's happening. Yeah yeah and it's it's been bad and you're right and i get like they get frustrated. And there's some bad media practices in my estimation. Especially when you know people like after a game or something and asking those questions. Now we're talking about today's ballgame if they make a trade for another player. We're talking about michael gibbons today because we just acquired okay. So i get it no no questions. I'm fine with all that. Just give me the day for the north. Just tell me the time.

I've got a question for the gm that usually doesn't go very far. And i do think that that's been arguably his biggest bugaboo even worse than a lot of the movies made that people are like you talk about two hundred thirty million dollars for like two point five war over the last five years. I've ever valid point but you can sell stuff if you try. You can at least come out and make it not feel terrible to be a rockies fan and that is part of your job yeah i will say this you know. The broncos are certainly train at this point to the general manager. Hiring but but jonah will come out and you'll hear him at least talk about things. At the end of the season. He might play a pretty close to the chest throughout the season. But you'll hear him kind of say you got to get better this quarterback position or whatever with jeff bright. It's kind of the opposite of that. It's like i you know we do..
