Industry Briefs
A lawsuit filed by Amaranth Advisors LLC claiming JPMorgan Chase & Co. executives helped to cause the natural gas hedge fund to collapse may not proceed, New York Supreme Court Judge O. Peter Sherwood has ruled. The hedge fund imploded in a $6.4 billion debacle in 2006 on bad bets on natural gas futures and derivatives deals. Amaranth sued the bank a year later for its alleged role in the fund’s demise, claiming that JPMorgan officials interfered in a deal with Citadel by disparaging Amaranth’s financial condition (see NGI, Nov. 19, 2007). In a 32-page ruling Sherwood said Citadel had “conducted its own research in connection with the proposed transaction with the fund and evidence of the tenuousness of the fund’s financial condition was readily available” (Amaranth LLC v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., No. 603756/2007, New York Supreme Court, New York County).
