James Sallah as Receiver, Gets Value for Defrauded Investors

When James Sallah of Sallah Astarita & Cox, LLC was appointed the receiver for a software company that had been raided by the FBI it had nothing, but software. Rather than putting the company into bankruptcy, which would virtually ensure that the investors would receive nothing, Sallah used a little-known tool to transform those defrauded investors into shareholders of a new $11 million company.

Law360 has a detailed review of the transformation, and while there is no guarantee that the shareholders will recover anything, they now have a chance to do so.

Disney Cases Spotlights Danger, Roadmap for Whistleblowers

Sallah Astarita & Cox in the news, at Law.com and Daily Business Review: 

Sandra Kuba, a senior financial analyst who has been with The Walt Disney Co. for nearly two decades, reported billions of dollars of alleged financial irregularities, and accused the financial arm of the publicly-traded entity of harassment and retaliation after she spoke out.

And now attorney James Sallah, partner at Sallah, Astarita & Cox in Boca Raton and former senior counsel in the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission in Miami, said if Kuba’s allegations are true, the whistleblower complaint effectively laid out a blueprint to bring these types of cases to court.

James Sallah of Sallah Astarita & Cox, said if true, the allegations in the complaint, specifically of accounting fraud and deficiency of internal controls, could be the basis of federal securities law violations if they made their way into public documents and are known internally to be inaccurate.
