Trump was a Billion in Debt to jews- Attorney Jew Alan Pomerantz -"Worth more Alive to us than Dead"
{Not sure if this is his Relative yet but most likely. all I found so far} - Abraham L. Pomerantz (March 22, 1903 – November 20, 1982) was a New York attorney who "pioneered shareholder suits against major corporations and for a time directed the prosecution of German industrialists after World War II." He also defended Soviet diplomat Valentin A. Gubitchev in the 1949-1950 Judith Coplon case.
Background
Abraham L. Pomerantz was born on March 22, 1903, in Brooklyn, New York. In 1924, Pomerantz studied at Brooklyn Law School at night.
Career
Law
Pomerantz started the practice of law at $4 a week. The New York Times wrote of him "He championed the virtues of Socialism and the rights of the poor while commanding large legal fees."[1]
Pomerantz was a founding partner of the law firm of Pomerantz Haudek Block Grossman & Gross LLP. He is considered by many to have been the "dean of the class action bar".[5] He pioneered suits by small shareholders against officials of such big corporations as McDonnell Douglas Corporation and the Dreyfus Fund.[6][7][8]
In 1933, Pomerantz brought his first major shareholder suit by representing an investor with twenty shares of National City Bank of New York against the bank's chairman and CEO.[1][4] He also won in cases involving Canadian Javelin, Warner Brothers Pictures, Fairchild Camera, First National City Bank, Hearst Consolidated Publications, Brooklyn Union Gas, and two odd‐lot brokers, Carlisle & Jacquelin and DeCoppet & Doremus.[9]
He specialized in so-called derivative suits, in which the company receives the award and passes it on to all stockholders. That original law firm is now called Pomerantz LLP and no longer embraces the derivative suit approach. It currently specializes in bringing lucrative class action lawsuits against high-profile companies.
Prominent legal cases include:
1946: Strike by American Communications Association CIO v. Western Union Telegraph Company (motion by Western Union to disqualify ACA attorney Pomerantz)[10]
1948: Kaiser Aluminum[11]
1969: Shareholders v. Hartford Fire Insurance Company[12]
1970: Ross v. Bernhard, 396 U.S. 531: Right to trial by jury in derivative actions[4]
1970: Case against Morgan Guaranty Trust Company and Chemical Bank of New York[13]
1973: Putnam Management[14]
1982 Gartenberg v. Merrill Lynch Asset Management, Inc., 694 F.2d 923 in the second circuit: Investment company advisory fee may violate Section 36(b) of Investment Company Act of 1940 when lacking reasonable relationship to services rendered)
1987: Kronfeld v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 832 F.2d 726 in the second circuitL Corporation may have to disclose ongoing merger negotiations
World War II
In 1946, Pomerantz went to Germany and led prosecution of German industrialists for collaborating in Nazi war crimes. "Eight months later, he left Germany after accusing the Truman Administration of not really wanting to pursue the trials."[1]
Coplon Case
Pomerantz defended Valentin A. Gubitchev, accomplice of Judith Coplon (here, arrested by FBI agents in 4 March 1949)
In 1949, Pomerantz defended Valentin A. Gubitchev, a Soviet diplomat accused of having conspired with Judith Coplon, a Department of Justice analyst, to funnel defense secrets to the Soviet Union. Pomerantz countered the government prosecutor's closing arguments with a different interpretation of their circuitous meetings–as not espionage but romance. Gubitchev, he argued, was a married man with children, a "crazy, crazy man" torn by romantic loyalties. Coplon's attorney Archibald Palmer also portrayed the relationship as romantic. In 1950, Gubitchev and Coplon were convicted in 1950 and received 15-year sentences. However, Gubitchev received reprieve on condition he leave the country, while Coplon was freed on bail, while Justice had to drop the indict 16 years later the indictment was dropped by the Justice Department.
Alleged communism
US Representative George Anthony Dondero (here from 1953 Pocket Congressional Directory of the 83rd Congress) accused Pomerantz of Communism
On July 9, 1947, US Representative George Anthony Dondero named Pomerantz while publicly questioned the "fitness" of United States Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson for failing to ferret out Communist infiltrators in his department. The cause for concern arose from what Dondero called Patterson's lack of ability to "fathom the wiles of the international Communist conspiracy" and to counteract them with "competent personnel." Dondero cited ten government personnel in the War Department who had Communist backgrounds or leanings: Colonel Bernard Bernstein, Russell A. Nixon, Abraham L. Pomerantz, Josiah E. DuBois Jr., Richard Sasuly, George Shaw Wheeler, Heinz Norden, Max Lowenthal, and Allan Rosenberg (member of Lowenthal's staff). Dondero stated, "It is with considerable regret that I am forced to the conclusion the Secretary Patterson falls short of
