The former U.S. chief compliance officer of London-based hedge fund firm Capula Investment Management, who alleged he was fired for repeatedly escalating “significant regulatory compliance issues” to senior management, recently refiled his lawsuit in state court after his original complaint was dismissed in federal court on jurisdictional grounds.
Robert Ottinger, co-counsel for Abramov, said in an email to Compliance Week that this was a “tactical move by the company to delay the case and move it to a different courthouse.”
