What an International Cast!  "Southern District of New York Judge Lewis Kaplan dismissed civil racketeering charges seeking millions in damages against Faith Zaman and Thomas William Derbyshire by the younger brother of the Sultan of Brunei — Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Paduka Seri Pengiran Digadong Sahibul Mal Pengiran Muda Haji Jefri Bolkiah, otherwise known as Prince Jefri — and companies he controls. Alleged frauds committed by an English husband-and-wife legal team were not enough to support a prince’s claim that his former advisers were engaged in a racketeering enterprise, a federal judge has ruled.

Prince Jefri had hired the barristers to serve as "principal legal advisors, strategists and confidantes" from May 2004 to November 2006.

But he claimed they abused his trust by selling a piece of the prince’s property in a "sham transaction" to an entity they owned, used his money to buy property for one of their own companies, faked documents to overstate Zaman’s compensation and hired her brother for an unnecessary job at New York’s Palace Hotel, which was owned by one of Prince Jefri’s companies.
