Action Against Equitable Life by New York State
New York State's Attorney General Julius Mayer filed in New York County Supreme Court an action against the Equitable Life Assurance Society and its officers and committees. The suit seeks accountability for conduct, removal of disloyal directors, restitution of property, and an equitable distribution of net surplus to policyholders amid alleged improper salaries, loans, and other financial losses. The complaint cites a 33-page filing, the Mercantile Safe Deposit lease, a $250 per share stock purchase, and related transactions as grounds for relief.
