Paul Weiss Rifkind and Freedom of Press

Milton Allimadi, who broke the stroy of how Morgan Stanley had set up Christian Curry to entrap him in serious felony changes, got a threatening letter from Martin London, the lead defense counsel for the firm. Was he just trying to scare a non-Caucasian immigrant into not exercising his U.S. consitutional rights? Part of the story from new York Post as posed on Allimadi's website:

NEW YORK PRESS: - "Milton Allimadi, who publishes the Black Star News is getting reamed again. Last summer we reported how big media outlets published material derivative of the Black Star News’ about that weird, still-unfolding Morgan Stanley case, without crediting the uptown weekly. Now Allimadi seems to be getting sweated by one of Morgan Stanley’s lawyers for investigating how the bank mistreated Curry, its black former employee. In a letter Allimadi received last month, Martin London – lead counsel for Morgan Stanley’s lawyers Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison – wrote: ‘If you print one word linking me or my law firm to any such conduct … you do so at your extreme and material risk.’ The New York Observer and the New York Post have both published pieces about the Morgan Stanley/Curry case. Think Arthur Carter and Rupert Murdoch get mail like that?" –February 16-22, 2000 [Allimadi’s note: I’m happy to report that I did not find a dead horse’s head next to me in bed – not yet anyway]
