The Cohend are appealing a default judgmenr in August in over financial fraud allegations related to a Manhattanhotel redevelopment. The New York lawsuit allegesw Leon Cohen, of Fisher Island, defrauded a French lendefr ina multimillion-dollar Now, the French corporatwe successor to that lender, , is trying to collect the money it has claimed, and has asked for a temporary injunction barrinf sale of the Cohens’ properties in Florida.

We believe we can show directy correlation.” According to CDR Creances’ Miami-Dade complaint, the Cohenw “engaged in a long-term, ongoing conspiracyy to defraud CDR” of $92.
5 million lent to a Cohen-controlled company in 1991 to financed the acquisition of the Flatotel in NewYork City. The complaintg refers to “a labyrinthine web of affiliatedd shell companies locatedin Florida, New Delaware, Lichtenstein, the British Virgin Islands, Panama, Quebe c and France to conceal their actions.” The Frencnh corporation claims the Cohens sold the Flatotelo to a Bahamian company controlled by hoteliert Simon Elias in 2000 without disclosing the transaction to CDR or makingy any payment on the loan.

New York Supreme Court Justice Walter Tolub wrote the decision against the Cohenas and other defendantson Aug. 13 in connectiomn with alleged civil fraud atthe Flatotel.
