Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell: On the Brink of Settlement

By  
on

Update: FYI, the speculation contained in this post turned out to be COMPLETELY WRONG. The case is definitely not settling. Rather, Sullivan & Cromwell has turned around and sued Aaron Charney!!!
We are guessing that Charney v. S&C is close to settling. In addition to the evidence recounted in our earlier post, here are a few more items:
1. One of you claims that mention of the suit has vanished from the NYS website. We haven’t verified this yet; we don’t even know if we can access it (since we don’t have an account or password for it). But if you can confirm, please email us.
2. We just got off the phone with Theodore Rogers, the Sullivan & Cromwell partner monitoring the suit in-house for S&C. He declined to comment. But we could tell, from the sound of his voice, that something is DEFINITELY afoot.
Rogers is a veteran litigator, one of the country’s top employment lawyers, who has been practicing for some two decades. But this eloquent advocate was reduced to a stammering schoolboy as soon as we uttered the words “Charney v. S&C.”
After he regained his composure, he declined to comment. But not all “no comments” are created equal. This “no comment” spoke volumes….
3. We haven’t heard back yet from S&C’s chairman, H. Rodgin Cohen, whom we have also contacted. We will let you know if and when we do.
4. Now Sullivan & Cromwell’s strategy of complete silence, which we expressed some doubt about, makes perfect sense. If you’re about to make the thing disappear completely, why even bother with damage control?
