Long After the Divorce, Ex-Wife Sues Very Wealthy Ex-Husband for Hiding Assets During Divorce, Fraud, Etc. ? and $300 Million

By Janet Langjahr

Ex-Husband and Ex-Wife divorced in the early 1990s.

Ex-Husband is a very, very wealthy man who founded a successful investment company during his divorce from Ex-Wife.

Ex-Wife sues Ex-Husband in a civil lawsuit for claimed racketeering. More specifically, allegedly:

• hiding assets from Ex-Wife and the family court during their divorce
• filing papers with the court that were false
• fraud and

Ex-Wife’s first lawyer dismissed her suit shortly after it was filed, apparently due to a falling out between him and his client. But Ex-Wife plans to re-file through new counsel.

The original actions reportedly sought $300 million.
