Bio:Hochman, Saunders Win Stock Manipulation Case Dismissal March 25, 2014 - The U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles has dismissed all criminal charges against Sherman Mazur, a Bingham client, and eight others in an alleged $30 million stock manipulation case. Partners Nathan Hochman and Dan Saunders and associate Adam Wagmeister had argued to the court in a suppression motion as well as during a three-day evidentiary hearing that the government's deliberate or reckless misstatements and omissions in obtaining judicial authorization for wiretaps of Mazur's and others' telephones rendered all wiretap evidence inadmissible at trial. The government dismissed the case before the court had an opportunity to rule on the pending defense motion. Such a dismissal is extremely rare to occur post-indictment and after years of investigation and prosecution. To obtain a valid wiretap, the government has to surmount the highest hurdles to get court permission for this very intrusive invasion into a citizen's privacy. We proved that the government failed to clear those hurdles on key issues, resulting in the government's wise choice to dismiss this case before the court ruled on our suppression motion. We are very happy that this ordeal is finally over for Mr. Mazur, Nathan said. The dismissal of the 32-count indictment represents a major setback for federal prosecutors, who hailed the January 2013 indictment and the three-year FBI investigation that preceded it as having dismantled
