Christopher Barclay and Jesse Finalyson: The Bankruptcy Trustee and Attorney Accused of Settling $75 Million in Claims for $200,000

A bankruptcy malpractice adversary proceeding accuses Chapter 7 trustee Christopher R. Barclay and his colleague Jesse Finalyson of settling $75 million in claims for a total of $200,000, then approving a sale of the remaining estate claims to the very man accused of orchestrating the criminal enterprise -- for another $100,000. The law firm they worked for, Finlayson Toffer Roosevelt and Lilly LLP, appears to have dissolved.
