Steve Heath was co-lead counsel in a lawsuit filed in the San Diego Superior Court for a China-based investor against a former employee accused of stealing $23 million deposited in U.S. corporate bank accounts. Following a seven-day bench trial, the Court awarded the firm’s clients $23 million in compensatory damages, $8 million in punitive damages, and entered a permanent injunction. The former employee was later sentenced to 63 months in federal prison.
