Brother of Binary Options Scammer Seeks Relief for His Seized House
- Eric Shah argues that he owns 50% in a homestead that was among assets frozen in connection with a binary options fraud.
Eric Shah, the brother of Israeli-American binary options operator Michael Shah, has applied to the court to defend his stake in a house the government seized in 2019.
Eric Shah argues that he owns 50 percent in a homestead that was among assets frozen by the court in connection with a binary options fraud.
“Further, he resides in the property as his protected constitutional homestead under Florida law. He therefore has a direct, substantial and legally protectable interest in the outcome of the Receiver’s Motion for Constructive Trust,” the legal notice states.
The filing also states that primary defendants in this case, online advertiser Michael Shah and his company Zilmil, Inc filed their response to the ‘Motion for Constructive Trust” one day before Eric moves to protect his shared house.
