U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan said the Aug. 11, 2020 wire transfers at issue were “final and complete transactions, not subject to revocation.”
The case stemmed from an incident where Citigroup, acting as Revlon’s loan agent, wired $893 million to Revlon’s lenders, appearing to pay off a loan not due until 2023.
Citigroup had intended to send a $7.8 million interest payment, and blamed human error for the gaffe.
But while some lenders returned money they were sent, 10 asset managers refused, prompting Citigroup’s lawsuit to recoup the estimated $501 million they received.
