Susan Scafidi, founder and director of Fordham Law’s Fashion Law Institute, spoke with Women’s Wear Daily about the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) lawsuit between fashion technology company CaaStle and the company’s founder and former CEO Christine Hunsicker.
Susan Scafidi, founder and director of the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham Law School, said the complaint “recasts” the scandal, replacing a single mastermind with a conspiracy.
“It appears intended not only to get ahead of a government investigation but also to distribute the blame — and thus the potential financial liability — for alleged extreme financial misrepresentations, and also to tap into the enhanced damages available under RICO,” Scafidi said.
