The trustee liquidating failed New York law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP filed a $21.8 million complaint on Wednesday against two of the firm's leaders, former Executive Director Stephen DiCarmine and former Chief Financial Officer Joel Sanders, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. The complaint outlines a number of alleged financial irregularities at the firm — whose management is the focus of an ongoing criminal investigation — including $1.2 million loans to DiCarmine and Sanders. The suit seeks to claw back lavish compensation packages the pair received in the years leading up to Dewey's 2012 collapse.
