Agile Group Sues Recording Artist Leonard Cohen for Extortion and Civil Conspiracy
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 9, 2005--Colorado investment
company Agile Group ("Agile") has charged international recording artist
Leonard Cohen and another individual, Robert Kory, of civil conspiracy
and extortion.
In a lawsuit filed Monday in Boulder County District Court, Agile
states that Cohen and Kory have threatened to irreparably damage Agile's
reputation in order to extort millions of dollars from Agile and its
insurer. Agile states that Cohen and Kory falsely claim that Agile bears
responsibility for the alleged misappropriation of Cohen's invested
funds by Cohen's former manager. The Complaint also states that Cohen
and Kory attempted to (and in some instances did) recruit third parties
in their conspiracy and procure false testimony.
Agile seeks a judgment against Cohen and Kory for all actual,
compensatory, punitive and other damages as a result of Cohen and Kory's
wrongful conduct. Agile is also asking that Cohen and Kory be prevented
from publishing or disseminating false information concerning Agile for
the purpose of disparaging and damaging its professional reputation.
Agile is a Colorado broker-dealer and investment advisor that
manages over $550 million in funds for more than 400 clients. Its
principal, Neal Greenberg, has been a prominent Boulder resident, and an
industry and community leader for decades. Leonard Cohen has been a
celebrity in the music business since the 1960s. He is best known for
his lyrical folk music, including songs such as Suzanne, and Chelsea
Hotel No. 2, a song about Janis Joplin. Cohen's song Hallelujah was
featured in the hit movie Shrek. Robert Kory is an entertainment
attorney who lives in L.A.
Agile is represented by Sherab Posel, an attorney from New York who
formerly was Of Counsel at David Boies' law firm, Boies, Schiller &
Flexner; and local attorneys David Chipman and Meghan Martinez of
Brownstein Hyatt & Farber, P.C.

Leonard Cohen testifies in ex-business manager's harassment trial
The singer-songwriter was the first witness in the case against Kelley Lynch, who allegedly sent him and others thousands of emails and left voice mails violating restraining orders.
The woman's voice in telephone messages left for singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen was low and steady.
"You are a sick man....You are a thief....You are a common thief."
Prosecutors say the voice mails were from Cohen's former business manager, Kelley Lynch, 55, who is on trial for allegedly making harassing phone calls to Cohen, sending him, his attorneys and other people he knew thousands of emails and violating restraining orders.

Prosecutors say the voice mails were from Cohen's former business manager, Kelley Lynch, 55, who is on trial for allegedly making harassing phone calls to Cohen, sending him, his attorneys and other people he knew thousands of emails and violating restraining orders.
Lynch, sitting next to her attorneys, occasionally smiled as voice
mails from 2011 were played for jurors in L.A. County Superior Court on
Friday. Lynch has pleaded not guilty.
Cohen was the prosecution's first witness, and he testified that he and Lynch had a business and personal relationship for about 17 years. At one point, he said, they had a "brief" intimate relationship. He said he fired her as his business manager in 2004.
As soon as he dismissed Lynch, she began calling and emailing him, Cohen said.
"It started with just a few now and then, but it eventually accelerated to 20 or 30 a day," said the 77-year-old singer, who is known for such hits as "Suzanne" and "Hallelujah."
The voice mail messages, Cohen said, were up to 10 minutes long. The caller leveled accusations and threats at him and said he "needed to be taken down and shot."
"It makes me feel very conscious about my surroundings," Cohen said. "Every time I see a car slow down, I get worried."
For years, Cohen said, he's been concerned for the safety of his family members, some of whom had a close relationship with Lynch.
Emails allegedly from Lynch were often 50 pages long, Cohen said.
"My sense of alarm has increased over the years as the volume of emails has increased," he said.
Deputy City Atty. Sandra Jo Streeter said Lynch's emails were extremely hostile toward Cohen and other artists and public figures. For example, several emails included the phrase "execute Steve Cooley," a reference to the L.A. County district attorney.
Cohen had obtained numerous restraining orders in California and Colorado, where Lynch lived for some time, but calls and emails continued despite the orders, Streeter said.
In his opening statements, Michael Kelly, a public defender representing Lynch, said the case "is very much about relationships and how relationships oftentimes get messy." He said Cohen's attorneys have "done everything in their power" to undermine his client's credibility and have even blamed her for Cohen's financial problems.
"Her name is not Leonard Cohen," Kelly said. "She's not a celebrity. She's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…so she's at a disadvantage here."

http://www.elephantjournal.com/2009/02/ ... -buddhist/Buddhist Patron Neal Greenberg: Agile Group suffers 90% loss, Shambhala International is “potential victim.” [Denver Post]
by Waylon Lewis, elephantjournal.com on Feb 4, 2009
We are sorry to confirm that Neal Greenberg, a longtime student and patron of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche of Shambhala International, has seen his successful, $1 Billion dollar business lose 90% of its assets—in large part due to Madoff and Petters, two of history’s largest Ponzi schemes, according to the Denver Post:
Agile Group, a Boulder wealth-management firm, has frozen client accounts since last fall and warned investors, including former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo and KOA talk-show host Mike Rosen, to expect heavy losses.
The firm, run by Neal Greenberg, managed more than $1 billion in mutual funds, hedge funds and private accounts.
“What investors were told is that they are not apt to get any money back until 2010,” said Charles Brega, an attorney with Fairfield and Woods who is preparing to sue the firm.
Brega’s clients, mostly elderly investors who had $3 million with the firm’s mutual funds, were told they could expect a recovery of 5 percent to 10 percent at most.
Agile has failed to provide a detailed explanation about why the money was lost, Brega said. Greenberg did not respond to an interview request.
Clients were told the firm had placed money with Bernard Madoff, accused of swindling investors out of $50 billion in the world’s largest Ponzi scheme, and Tom Petters, a Minneapolis businessman indicted on 20 counts of fraud that could cost investors up to $3.5 billion.
In interviews with Dow Jones on Monday, Rosen and Tancredo talked about Agile’s failure.
“I’ll attribute the blame to Petters and Madoff because they appear to be thieves,” Rosen said. “You can also blame the international market bubble in commodities and everything else. You can blame the financial collapse. . . . You can say that people managing hedge funds, including Neal, bet on some of the wrong horses. . . . But I have no reason to believe that while Petters and Madoff are crooks that Neal Greenberg is too.”
Tancredo said Agile’s problems surfaced in September.
“It started primarily with the collapse of Lehman Brothers,” Tancredo said. “Once it started, it was just like a house of cards.”
Neither disclosed how much money he held with Agile, but a disclosure form Tancredo filed with his 2007 presidential bid listed $530,000 to $1.1 million invested in the Agile Safety Fund, which generated $15,000 to $50,000 a year in income for him.
“I have no idea where it is or what we will be able to recover,” he told Dow Jones, “but it’s pretty serious.”
The firm promoted itself as vigilant at identifying and offsetting investment risks and making money in all market conditions. It was a sponsor of Rosen’s show.
Another potential victim of Agile’s collapse is Shambhala International, which is listed as an under-5-percent owner in the Agile Group, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Greenberg taught a course on wealth, meditation and livelihood at the Shambhala Center in Boulder and has close ties to the local Buddhist community, according to the center’s website.
