Issue: Discovery of Debtor’s Hidden Assets

Digital Equipment Corporation v. Frank Gangi, US District Court. Boston Civil Action No. 96-MC 10524 MBD

Counsel: Denzil D. McKenzie

We represented Digital Equipment Corporation in this proceeding to collect on a foreign judgment in the amount of $237,000. The Defendant had successfully hid his assets and frustrated the efforts of one of Boston’s largest law firms. Digital re-assigned the case to our Firm and through use of the Internet and other investigative tools, we were able to locate assets of the Defendant including an aircraft and real estate. Faced with a motion for examination pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 69(a), the Defendant settled and paid approximately $160,000 of the judgment debt.
