Ex-Refco CEO Helps Investors Suing Company

May 30, 2008

The plaintiffs lawyers bringing the shareholder class action suit over the collapse of commodities brokerage Refco have been receiving assistance from an unlikely source -- Refco's former chief executive officer. John Coffey of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman and Stuart Grant of Grant & Eisenhofer disclosed on Thursday that they held "several highly productive meetings" with Philip R. Bennett, who provided them with a "unique opportunity to debrief a former CEO involved in a massive corporate fraud."
