Denial of Defendant Andrew Murstein & MFIN's Motion to Dismiss
Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected Medallion and Mr. Murstein's attempt to have the case thrown out, finding the SEC's allegations legally sufficient to proceed to trial — a ruling that credited the SEC's fraud allegations in full and set the stage for the eventual settlement and permanent injunctions.
