Archegos Capital Management’s Bill Hwang will go on trial on fraud charges in October next year, a federal judge in New York said.
US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein set an Oct. 10, 2023, trial date for Hwang and former Archegos Chief Financial Officer Patrick Halligan at a conference on Thursday. And their lawyers previewed the legal arguments they plan to make in pre-trial motions seeking to have charges dismissed before trial.
