The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California has filed its first response opposing motions to dismiss several counts of its criminal case against Milberg Weiss and former partners. Three of the indicted defendants have filed motions to dismiss charges against them, mostly relating to "honest services fraud." In response, prosecutors argue that "honest services fraud" does not require them to prove economic harm to class members, but only "the fraudulent concealment of material facts."
