This is piece is a joke and it was written by an absolutely reprehensible person. Who is Ms. Alperstein? She is a hedge fund lawyer who represents the people who crashed the economy. Here is what a Google search tell us about her:
- Defending witnesses before the SEC in connection with various investigations involving credit default swaps, CDOs and CLOs.
- Defending several hedge funds and a health care company in the Tribune fraudulent conveyance actions.
- Defending a holding company and individual against claims for conspiracy to commit fraud in connection with an alleged “pump and dump” market manipulation scheme on London and German stock exchanges.
- Defending publicly traded domestic company against wage and hour class action in New York state court.
- Advised hedge fund in connection with investigation of Ponzi scheme and corporate governance issues.
- Defeated securities fraud class action brought against foreign holding company and individual in District of Massachusetts.
But there’s more. Alperstein also represented Chilean aristocrats Malu Custer Edwards and Micky Hurley, who were sued for trafficking and abusing their nanny, whom they brought with them to the United States. The nanny was able to escape thanks to contacting Safe Horizons. Alperstein said, “the claims are completely without merit and will be fully refuted in court.” The Department of Labor ordered the couple to pay the nanny $6,302 in back wages. And this isn’t the only example of the socialite couple being accused of untoward behavior. A photographer accused the husband of withholding payment. He also published an email exchange in which the husband wrote, I’m not kidding,
Remember, you are ALWAYS going to be from a different class, you were born where you were born, and even if you were reborn a billion times, you will never have a Baroness for a grandmother like me. This is what I get for working with street trash like you.
He signed off the email by writing, “Goodbye, great-grandson of a seamstress.”
