A hedge fund founder’s suit pressing Fourth and Fifth Amendment claims against former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara, federal prosecutors, and FBI agents was scuttled by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Tuesday.
The panel, composed of U.S. Circuit Judges Reena Raggi, Denny Chin, and Susan Carney, reversed and remanded the case in favor of the defendants, finding the federal law enforcement officials are entitled to qualified immunity against the suit by David Ganek, co-founder of Level Global Investors, which is defunct.
