In one of the most talked-about hedge fund collapses of recent times, Kobre & Kim represents Brian Hunter, the former head of Energy Trading for US $9 billion hedge fund Amaranth Advisors LLC, in civil litigation and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulatory enforcement actions for alleged market manipulation of natural gas futures. On behalf of Mr. Hunter, Kobre & Kim also filed the first-ever suit challenging the FERC's ability to regulate futures markets or to file enforcement actions against natural persons.
