The Beverley Schottenstein Trial
THIS SHOCKING MEGA-MILLION DOLLAR TRIAL SHEDS
LIGHT ON FAMILY DYSFUNCTION AND HORRIFIC ELDER
ABUSE AT THE PINNACLE OF WEALTH AND PRIVILEGE.
The Beverley Schottenstein Trial of Beverley vs. J.P. Morgan Securities and her two grandsons Evan Schottenstein and Avi Schottenstein, “jointly and severally,” began on October 19, 2020—over Zoom due to COVID-19. Though J.P. Morgan terminated Evan and Avi shortly after the scandal broke in 2019, all three defendants—the company and the two former executives of that company—stood trial together. The trial concluded on Thursday, January 28, 2021, and the verdict was swiftly announced one week later: J.P. Morgan, Evan, and Avi were found LIABLE on all counts of constructive fraud, abuse of fiduciary duty, and fraudulent misrepresentations and omissions. J.P. Morgan and Evan were also found liable for elder abuse. The award is in the tens of millions.
In February 2020, the SEC notified the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office of significant criminal wrongdoing, and in March the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York flew to Florida to personally interview Beverley Schottenstein. This was one week before the pandemic officially hit the United States. Since then, the Department of Justice and the FBI have opened a joint investigation, and both criminal and civil charges are expected to be filed at any time.
