In a recent development, the Second Circuit Court has upheld the dismissal of a racketeering case filed by disbarred attorney Anthony Zappin. Zappin, a former BigLaw associate, has faced significant legal setbacks following a 2015 divorce sanctions ruling, which eventually led to his termination, disbarment, and public ridicule in New York City tabloids. This latest decision marks the 16th unsuccessful lawsuit that Zappin has pursued, targeting various individuals he holds responsible for his legal and personal troubles.
