Silver Law Group is investigating an alleged scheme to defraud 3|5|2 Capital ABS Master Fund LP (the “352 Fund”), which is a hedge fund that was part of Jefferies Financial Group’s Leucadia Asset Management (“Leucadia”). The former Leucadia portfolio manager of the 352 Fund, Jordan Chirico, was indicted for purportedly engaging in a series of conflicted transactions at the expense of those who entrusted Leucadia with hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in the 352 Fund. Specifically, in breach of fiduciary duties of loyalty and care owed by Leucadia to 352 Fund investors, Chirico was criminally charged for causing the 352 Fund and its affiliates to pour almost $100 million into an alleged Ponzi scheme masquerading as a water machine company called Water Station Management, LLC (“Water Station”). As the 352 Fund made those investments, Chirico purportedly had secret undisclosed financial stakes in the alleged Ponzi scheme conducted at the expense of the 352 Fund’s investors.  Silver Law Group is investigating an alleged scheme to defraud 3|5|2 Capital ABS Master Fund LP (the “352 Fund”), which is a hedge fund that was part of Jefferies Financial Group’s Leucadia Asset Management (“Leucadia”).
