A New York judge has ruled that the Revlon lenders Citigroup mistakenly repaid can keep the money.
The court decision, written by New York Southern District Court Judge Jesse Furman, shows that he ruled in favor of the 10 investment advisory firms Citi sued in August. The 10 defendants collectively received more than $500 million of the mistaken wire transfers in August, according to the judge, while other lenders returned the money and avoided the lawsuit.
“We strongly disagree with this decision and intend to appeal,” a Citi spokesperson said via email Tuesday. “We believe we are entitled to the funds and will continue to pursue a complete recovery of them.”
