Professor Cheryl Bader shares her expert opinion on the charges against former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng and his upcoming trial.
In overcoming their claims, the defendant faces an “uphill battle,” in the words of one legal expert.
Roger Ng, Goldman’s former head of investment banking in Malaysia, is charged with conspiring to launder money and to violate an anti-bribery law.
He has pleaded not guilty and Ng’s lawyer has called him a “fall guy” for one of the biggest financial scandals in Wall Street history.
“Ng has an uphill battle because I think they are going to show that he was at a high level of management, that he had the connection with Low,” Cheryl Bader, an associate clinical professor at Fordham University School of Law.
