What’s Next?
Judge O’Connor must now decide whether Chemcraft’s sweeping RICO and fraud claims — spanning accusations of theft, money laundering, and misuse of U.S. brokerage accounts — will be heard in federal court or pushed behind the closed doors of arbitration.
Counsel for the parties did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday.
Chemcraft is represented by Austin Champion and Thaís Amaral Dourado of Champion LLP and Juan Rodriguez of Carey Rodriguez LLP.
The Frost and McAlpine defendants are represented by Scott A. Wheatley, Allison B. Allman, Minoo S. Blaesche, and Christa L. Bunce of Jackson Walker LLP.
