Allred v. Chicago Title Company – Ponzi Scheme Settlement

Berger Montague settled a lawsuit against Chicago Title Co. on behalf of its individual clients who alleged they were victims in a more than $400 million liquor license lending Ponzi scheme engineered by Gina Champion-Cain through ANI Development. Following extensive proceedings and hard fought negotiations, Chicago Title agreed to pay 70% of Berger Montague’s clients’ out-of-pocket losses, which was greater than Chicago Title’s agreement to pay 65% of losses suffered by investors who filed individual cases in federal court. Michael Dell’Angelo, Barbara Podell, and Andrew Abramowitz of Berger Montague were responsible for this matter. The case was litigated in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Diego and captioned Allred, et al. v. Chicago Title Company, et al., No. 2021-00007823 (San Diego Sup. Ct.).
