The reality is very different than the appearance. I had similar situations with other banks, and service providers. Both UBS and Morgan Stanley, after initially saying I did not pass compliance, did significant diligence on me, and after diligence, which included speaking to our outside counsel, who was able to show them various things, we got approved as a client. Even my old firm has over a billion dollars and gets approved after diligence. It's also important to note that these approvals were received prior to the previous cases described in the attached letter being dismissed. Since then they have been dismissed. Its important to note that case that generated the most headlines and had the greatest level of accusations against my former firm (Razorback), was settled for no money whatsoever. I have no doubt that if DB was willing to have a conversation with me followed by or simultaneous to a conversation with our consul we would be approved there as well. Most peoples diligence fails to discover for example that both the Razorback case and the US bankruptcy Trustee case are over and its outcomes highly favorable for the funds (details in the attached letter). The only case outstanding against me right now is a defamation or libel case from AJ Discala. There is no merit to the case to begin with , but certainly not against me or any entity I'm involved with. There isn't even a claim against me in the actual case, but I was thrown in due to association with my ex-partner. The lawyers are highly confident that this case will never get past a motion to dismiss. We have another case against TD Bank but we are claimants and not defendants in this case and expect it to be resolved shortly in a manner that makes our investors whole on their losses. The biggest investor I had in my prior firm is a large client of DB Private client group and are willing to act a s a strong reference for me with them if necessary. I have in the past and will continue in the future to answer any and all questions surrounding the Rothstein situation fully and honestly. I strongly suggest that he gets DB to get on a call with me and counsel and I am sure they will be satisfied soon thereafter. Lastly, I became aware on Friday but have not seen that there was another law suit filed against Platinum last week. Im told that it has no absolutely new allegations that were not made in prior law suits and that the lawyers fully expect it to not make it pass a motion to dismiss. I have not seen this lawsuit. Lastly, as a reminder, I have been out as a GP from Platinum for nearly 4 years at this point. To be clear, we can show everything objectively with no reliance on "he said, he said" necessary. Attached is the letter prepared by outside counsel for another party a while back.
