An appeals court declined to revive billionaire Leon Black’s racketeering suit alleging a conspiracy to destroy his reputation by his Apollo Global Management Inc. co-founder Josh Harris and ex-model Guzel Ganieva.
The federal appeals court in Manhattan on Thursday said it wouldn’t overturn a lower-court ruling in June that found racketeering claims by Black “glaringly deficient.” It upheld the decision by US District Judge Paul Engelmayer, who threw out the case and ruled that Black wouldn’t be able to fix it in an amended complaint.
