SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 26 – Bloomfield Investment Resources Corporation sued Elliott Daniloff for deceit and manipulation in a scheme to steal $25 million to purportedly develop a poultry farm in Russia.
On June 17, 2021 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Judge Cave offered to hold a settlement conference on July 15, and explained to the parties the rules. She said that for settlement conferences now in the SDNY, if all of the parties are vaccinated, they do not need to wear masks.
Still, the parties said they prefer video.
Jump cut to October 25, 2022. The case did not settle, and is now the subject of a bench trial before the assigned District Judge Victor Marrero.
On the witness stand was Daniloff himself, being questioned about his tax returns for 2010 and 2011 (losses over $200,000 reported in each year), and an IRS Form 1040 with 2013 marked "Do Not File." Then he recounted going to Bates University, then Solomon Smith Barney until it was bought by Citigroup.
On October 26, a witness walked through his emails with Daniloff about UMG-Dubai and UMG-Russia, and the investment strategies of the Reuben brothers, David and Simon, who would own 90% of the Dubai entity which would own 100% of the UMG-Russia. The trial continues.
The case is Bloomfield Investment Resources Corp v. Daniloff, 17-cv-4181 (Marrero / Cave)
