Lawyer Charged With Fraud Over Failed Maxim Buy
Posted in: Uncategorized
New York lawyer Harvey Newkirk has been charged with wire fraud in connection with a failed bid to raise $8 million dollars to purchase Maxim magazine.
According to a complaint by the U.S. government, Mr. Newkirk lied about having assets and collateral while persuading two victims to provide the money and then misrepresented that he and others secured funding for the magazine purchase to an investment adviser representing a lender.
Mr. Newkirk allegedly conspired in the scheme with Calvin Darden Jr., son of Darden Media Group Chairman Calvin Darden Sr., said a person familiar with the case who wasn’t authorized to speak about it. The U.S. only referred to a co-conspirator in the complaint.
