Heres Pandos formal legal response toMarty Mad Dog Singers attempt to shutdown our reportingBY SARAH LACY AND PAUL CARR ON MAY 13, 2014
Late last month, Pando received a legal threat from Marty Mad Dog Singer, anentertainment lawyer acting for New Jersey based Chatham Asset Management and thefirms principal, Anthony Melchiorre.
The letter came in response to a series of stories by David Sirota examining proposedcontracts for the handling of New Jersey public pension funds. As we reported at the time,one of the firms mentioned in the series Chatham Asset Management threatened to sueSirota, and Pando, over our investigation, even before we had published our storymentioning them.
In keeping with our policy of publishing all legal threats we receive, we shared Singers letterhere.
