REGENERON RACES AGAINST THE CLOCK IN CORONAVIRUS CRISIS BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

GABELLI: ‘EARNINGS PROJECTIONS WILL COME DOWN’ BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

ust hours before President Donald Trump told a South Carolina rally of his followers that the stock market loss in reaction to the coronavirus crisis and what was being said about it was a Democrat political hoax and news media scheme to hurt him, three local financial profession-

als were giving the Business Journal insights about what was happening. In the final trading days of February, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped about 12% as the COVID-19 virus continued to spread. The estimated loss in wealth globally during that period was $6 trillion with $4 trillion of the loss attributable to the U.S. March opened with a 1,294 rise in the Dow on March 2, followed by a drop

of 785 points on the following day despite the Federal Reserve announcing an emergency interest-rate cut of one-half percentage point. As of March 4, the novel coronavirus had spread to 82 countries. The worldwide count of cases had risen to 94,343 with 3,222 deaths. There were nine deaths reported in the U.S. The commentary was provided by: Mario Gabelli, chairman and CEO of Gamco Investors, Inc., which is based in Rye; David Nelson, chief strategist of Belpointe Asset Management in Greenwich, Connecticut; and Matthew Carey, director of the Center for Financial Markets Studies and the LaPenta-Lynch Trading Floor at the Iona » CORONAVIRUS

potential to not only protect a person against the COVID-19 coronavirus but also to treat a person who is already infected, the company’s founder, president and CEO told President Donald Trump during a March 2 meeting at the White House. Regeneron’s Leonard S. Schleifer was one of several heads of research and pharmaceutical companies invited to a meeting of the president’s Coronavirus Task Force in the Cabinet Room. Vice President Mike Pence, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, were among those attending the meeting.

In early February, Regeneron reached an expanded agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop new treatments for combating the coronavirus that has been spreading around the world at increasing speed. Regeneron is collaborating with HHS’ Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). During the meeting, Trump pressed the heads of the companies to promise a quick timeline for putting a vaccine into production. Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the task force and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, had previously told the president that it would take a year to 18 months to invent a vaccine, do clinical trials and, if it actually » REGENERON

ilder Balter Partners, which is headquartered in Chappaqua, has proposed developing a four-story, 109-unit building at 62 Main St. in Tarrytown that is the current site of the Family YMCA at Tarrytown. The Tarrytown Planning Board has set a public hearing on the project for its March 23 meeting. The YMCA’s board of directors determined that the organization needed to take advantage of the equity it has in its real estate by putting the property up for sale, find a new location and use the proceeds to continue with its mission. Records on file in the Westchester County Clerk’s office indicated that as of Feb. 26 the YMCA still owned the property. A Tarrytown Planning Board document showed that Wilder Balter Partners Inc. is the contract vendee for the property. Contract vendees often do not actually purchase a property until they have received necessary municipal approvals to proceed with a project. When presenting the proposal to the board, attorney Mark Weingarten of the White Plainsbased law firm DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr LLP said, “The project itself is to demolish the existing four-story building except for the façade on

Main Street and a portion of the attached building. The new building will contain 109 dwelling units: 15 studios, 94 one-bedrooms.” Weingarten explained that funding from New York state’s affordable housing agency, Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), would remain in place for 50 years and 80% of the building’s occupants will be ages 55 and older. “Rents will be 40% to 80% AMI (average median income), which is a very good mix of incomes and much-needed in this community,” Weingarten said. In addition to providing 118 below-ground parking spaces for residents, the building would incorporate an additional 70 spaces for public use in a parking level that lines up with the building’s lobby fronting on Windle Park Drive, which is perpendicular to Main Street. Weingarten said that in discussions with local merchants, the need for more parking in the heart of the village was emphasized. “When we met with the merchant associations, their No. 1 concern was, ‘Sure, you’re building parking for your development, but we really need parking,’ ” William G. Balter, principal of Wilder Balter Partners, told the planning board. He said the 118 parking spaces for resident use likely will be more than needed. He said actual vehicle counts at similar projects he had built showed the number of spaces

needed for a building such as the one in Tarrytown is 0.7 per residential unit. In addition to the likelihood of having unused spaces in the area set aside for residents, Balter proposed creating a 70-car parking lot at grade level in the building that would connect with one of the two existing municipal parking lots adjacent to the site. Balter and Weingarten presented early renderings, elevations and overhead views of the project to the planning board. Balter told the Business Journal he expects the architectural plans will evolve as they work with the stakeholders and local boards. The project’s traffic engineer, John Canning of Kimley-Horn and Associates, said, “For as long as I’ve lived in the area, there’s never been

enough parking in downtown.” Canning said the development will help reduce traffic which had been created by evening activities at the YMCA by 70%. Balter said the building is being designed to meet Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, the second-highest level. He said there would be a rooftop solar system capable of generating 200,000 watts of electricity. The property covers 1.12 acres and is zoned restricted retail, RR, on the Main Street side. The balance of the site is M-1.5, multifamily residential. The developer is asking for the RR portion to be rezoned to M-1.5 and it also is asking the village to map the village’s senior community floating overlay zone onto the site.

worked, get Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to bring it to market. Schleifer raised the possibility of a briefer timeline if a number of factors fell into place. He explained that the company worked with BARDA and came up with a cure for Ebola. “Dr. Fauci’s group was really instrumental in testing that under unbelievable conditions in the Congo,” Schleifer told the president. Schleifer said Regeneron can use the same technology and is working to develop something effective against COVID-19. “We have 1,000 antibodies that are already sitting in dishes. We’re screening them. We’re selecting them. We anticipate, if all goes well, 200,000 doses per month can come out of our factory in New York, starting in August,” Schleifer told Trump. The antibodies can block the proteins that allow the virus to latch onto human cells. Cells in the lungs are especially vulnerable to the

whole process. So, it’ll protect you. And, as we showed with Ebola, if you give enough of them … it was lifesaving — truly lifesaving. And it beat out the antivirals (a different type of drug). It … was the way to go. It’s very predictable. “I sense the cautiousness of Dr. Fauci and he’s right to be cautious, because vaccines have to be tested, because there’s precedence for vaccines to actually make diseases worse. You don’t want to rush and treat a million people and find out you’re making 900,000 of them worse.” “That’s a good idea,” Trump replied. “We know that this approach worked for Ebola. We know that it worked for MERS in animals. We have a greater degree of confidence that this would work sooner, I think,” Schleifer said, “We’re going to be surprised about what happens over the next couple of months.” Trump asked if a flu vaccine would have any impact on the coronavirus. Both Schleifer and Fauci said “no.”

COVID-19 strain of virus, which has similarities to Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) viruses. Trump asked, “That means you’d be able to use the vaccine that early?” Schleifer replied, “It depends on what we see, how we work closely with the FDA, which we will do. The FDA already reached out to us, but we’ve got to work closely.” Azar asked why Regeneron could be on a faster timetable than some other companies working on vaccines or therapies and whose representatives were in the room. “Our drug will be able to protect you,” Schleifer replied. “Whether or not you’re infected, it will protect you from getting infected. Or if you are infected, it would treat you. We have just taken processes that normally take years — literally, years — and we put them end to end and now do them in weeks to months, which nobody else in the industry can do.” Trump interjected, “So this would be a companion of a vaccine and also it will — to put it a different way — make you better, quicker.” Schleifer said. “If you get immunized with one of these vaccines, you’re going to make some antibodies to protect you. We’re going to already make those antibodies and give them to you so you don’t have to go through the

CORONAVIRUS CRISIS COVID-19 arrives in Westchester BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

“I

think it’s important to understand that these cases can come from anywhere,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said during a March 3 briefing at the County Office Building in White Plains on the first reported case of COVID-19 coronavirus in the county. The following day, March 4, the number of Westchester cases had risen to five and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo met with Latimer, health officials and others in White Plains. Cuomo told a news conference that an estimated 1,000 Westchester residents were ordered to quarantine themselves because of possible exposure to the virus during events they attended at a New Rochelle temple. A 50-year-old attorney, who lives in New Rochelle and works in Manhattan, had the first reported case of COVID-19 in Westchester. His wife, along with a daughter and son and neighbor who drove the attorney to a hospital subsequently tested positive for the virus. The attorney and his wife have four children. A 14-year-old daughter attends the SAR Academy, a private school in Riverdale. The school had canceled classes when the story started unfolding. A 20-year-old son attends Yeshiva University in Washington Heights and usually stays on the campus. When he tested positive for COVID-19, Yeshiva announced that it was temporarily canceling classes on the Washington Heights campus. The couple has two additional children who were reported to be in Israel. The 50-year-old patient had been commuting to work in New York City and apparently used Metro-North Railroad. “It’s a matter of chance by which a particular community may have an active case. We have to be prepared that there will be other active cases and they may find themselves in different corners of the county,” Latimer said. “They may not be connected directly to travel to China, South Korea, Iran or Italy.” The infected New Rochelle man apparently did not travel to China, nor to any of the countries where the outbreak of the virus has been severe. He apparently did make a recent trip to Miami, but county officials did not have full details. County Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler said she was notified at about 1 a.m. on March 3 about the first COVID-19 case in Westchester and that the patient, who had been hospitalized at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, had been transported to the NewYork-Presbyterian/ Columbia University Irving Medical Center in Manhattan. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also held a March 3 news conference at which he

said the attorney had been having respiratory issues in the month before being admitted to the hospital. He said seven people at the Manhattan law firm where the man worked were being tested for COVID-19. Amler said the patient’s wife and two children were in quarantine at the family’s home in New Rochelle. The county reported later in the day that people who had attended certain events at the temple Young Israel of New Rochelle might have been exposed to the virus. Amler directed that the temple halt all services immediately and for the foreseeable future due to possible COVID-19 exposure. She also determined that congregants of the temple who attended services on Feb. 22 and a funeral and bat mitzvah at the temple on Feb. 23 must self-quarantine until March 8 at the very earliest. She said the County Health Department would order a quarantine for anyone who was at those events at the temple and did not self-quarantine. The temple has approximately 380 families as members. Two schools in Westchester where the attorney’s family members had ties, the Westchester Day School and Westchester Torah Academy, voluntarily closed as a precaution against the spread of the virus.

“Considering that New Rochelle, like every city in Westchester County, does not have its own public health apparatus, the best thing we can do is take direction from experts at the county level, at the state level,” New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson said. Reporters were told that Westchester County at the time of the briefing had 12 people being monitored in voluntary quarantine as possible carriers of the virus. Amler said quarantine is appropriate when someone had been exposed to illness and isolation is appropriate when an individual is sick. She said the number of people the county has been monitoring on any given day has varied from a recent peak of 26 to as low as four. She said the number goes down as people pass the 14-day incubation period for COVID-19 without becoming ill and can go up as people are identified as having come to Westchester from an area where the illness is rampant or having possibly been exposed in some other way. When asked by the Business Journal about complaints from health officials in other parts of the country regarding excessive delays in diagnosis caused by having to send specimens from patients to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta

CORONAVIRUS CRISIS for testing, Amler said although the county did not have its own kits to test for the disease, it won’t be facing a delay in having tests for the disease run. “This individual was actually tested in New York City and New York City does have the capacity to turn the tests around in a very rapid manner,” Amler said. “Wadsworth, which is the state lab in Albany, also now has that capacity. Westchester does not have the ability to test on-site within the county at this time, so any samples that we received would either have to go to the city or to the state, so that’s how we would be handling samples.” She said there are adequate facilities in the county to isolate patients with the disease should that become necessary. “The vast majority of people who get this infection are only mildly ill, so they wouldn’t require a hospital,” Amler said. “They could probably be isolated at home as long as their home allowed for them not to expose others, and so only the most sick would require hospitalization and we certainly are working with all of our hospital partners around this issue.” Cuomo, New York State Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins of Yonkers and other officials held a news conference in Albany on March 3 to release some information about the confirmed Westchester case, which at the time was the second in the state. Cuomo took the opportunity to sign into law a $40 million emergency management authorization for the state’s response to the virus. The funds will allow the state to hire additional staff and procure equipment and any other resources deemed necessary. Cuomo announced that the state university, SUNY, will have students who are studying in countries where the virus is prevalent come home. He said SUNY will review all of its programs for study abroad in anticipation of expanded travel restrictions being imposed by the federal government. Latimer had no doubt that the county will have adequate funds and resources to deal with whatever may happen. “The financial side of this issue is subordinate to the health side of this issue,” he said. When asked by the Business Journal whether procedures at Westchester County Airport would be impacted by the confirmed COVID-19 case, Latimer noted that there is limited international activity at the airport and the federal government is channeling flights from designated COVID19 hot spots around the world to 11 designated airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport. “You might have a Canadian flight or, on the private side of the airport, a private jet flight. Even the private jets are under instructions if they’re bringing passengers from any of those countries not to land in Westchester County but to land at JFK to go through the appropriate protocol. We believe that’s being followed. Now, if we do go to some higher level of alert and we start to curtail certain types of things, the airport along with our parks

and recreational facilities and some of the other areas where the public interacts with county government will be subject to whatever circumstances we make,” Latimer said. “Westchester is not on an island. We’re going to be doing things in concert with other counties around us in New York state. New York state is interacting with neighboring states, trying to determine what is the best strategy.” Amler pointed out that by getting flu shots people would be protected from common strains of influenza and, if they started showing symptoms of an illness, that would make it more likely that a health care provider would suspect something other than the flu. She suggested that simple steps such as frequent hand-washing for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, covering the mouth when coughing or sneezing, cleaning surfaces with bleach-based products and staying home when sick are common-sense steps for county residents to be taking.

‘9/11 EVENT’

“Clients are certainly nervous and, frankly, professionals are nervous as well,” Nelson told the Business Journal. “This is not your garden-variety event. This is not what is typically a demand-driven recessionary scenario where the economy is weak and people are pulling back. This is like a 9/11 event or like a meteor hitting the Earth unseen, like a Katrina, a storm that hits overnight.” Nelson explained that the market had been seeing businesses around the world suspending operations and breaks in Chinese supply chains and manufacturing capability. The current strain of coronavirus first appeared in Wuhan, China. He said it became obvious to many that some public companies were going to have trouble meeting the financial targets they had been presenting to Wall Street. Carey talked about a friend of his in Rhode Island who operates a small busi-

CORONAVIRUS CRISIS ness that depends on importing merchandise from China. “He’s been shut down since, probably, the beginning of February,” Carey said. “The factories have been closed and he hasn’t been able to have any orders produced. They’re just starting to gear up again now.” Carey said his friend had just returned to Rhode Island from China when the first American cases of the virus hit. Carey noted, “A stock market trades on what its view of the future is, so it is discounting the future.” Carey explained that the rapid spread of the virus caused a rapid change in underlying assumptions. “You add a shock like this and it causes people, the research community in particular and the economists, to go back and have to start to recut all of their estimates and all of their data for future earnings,” he said.

‘UNCERTAINTY CREATES OPPORTUNITIES’

“The consumer is going to be sensitive to the virus’ progression and it will have an impact on our economy,” Gabelli said. “The questions are when will the market fully discount it and how quickly will the economy and corporate earnings rebound? As history has shown us many times before, the uncertainty creates opportunities for investors.”

“It’s hard to tell somebody not to be fearful when you see an event like this,” Nelson said. “It’s real money. It’s their retirement savings or something they’ve planned their lives around. Somebody might sell today and completely leave the equity markets and two weeks from now that may look like a good idea because the market may well be down another 10% or 15%. The question is, ‘What will be the catalyst that gets them to put the money back to work in the market?’ “A correction technically is a 10% decline, so we’ve got a correction. A bear market is classified as 20% from the high.” Nelson said many people likely won’t come back into the stock market until it hits another all-time high, where it was just before the February slide started. At that point, however, they will have missed out on substantial gains. “This is what we sign up for as investors,” Nelson said. “This is the other side of the coin. It’s not always a market like we’ve had at the beginning of this year. This is a lot more real. We get corrections like this.” Nelson said the decline could be an important wake-up call for investors who

have had all of their money in stocks to review their portfolios. “If you’re approaching retirement, you should be pretty well diversified,” Nelson said. “It’s just going to be maintaining a balanced composure here. This is not a time for gunslinging.” Carey said what’s been happening to the world economy in general and Wall Street in particular both have provided compelling classroom subjects at the LaPenta School of Business. “We are very, very interconnected globally,” he said. “People are getting on and off planes and traveling all over the place all the time. “Markets are based upon assumptions and a view of the future. We’re all conditioned to the bull market when things are going up. When you get a big move that really rattles people it tests them, and it tests market psychology and what people tend to do is throw in the towel and run for cover.”

IN COURT | Bill Heltzel Doral Arrowwood owners win foreclosure reprieve … for now A Manhattan judge has granted a preliminary victory to the owners of the shuttered Doral Arrowwood Conference Center and Hotel, ruling that the mortgage owner may not foreclose on the resort, for now. Real estate investor Charles S. Cohen bought the $75 million mortgage at a discounted price in December, according to court records, with the intention of foreclosing on the property, demolishing the structures and building a new facility. But DCCA LLC, the family company that owns Arrowwood, sued Cohen and Cohen Brothers Realty Corp. on Feb. 4 in Manhattan Supreme Court for $250 million. Lloyd Heller, DCCA’s chief executive officer, claims he asked Cohen to help the family company buy the mortgage, but Cohen violated a nondisclosure agreement to buy the bank note for himself. “DCCA is trying to blame me for its own problems,” Cohen states in an affidavit in which he denied allegations of fraud and breach of contract. The underlying dispute is being fought in Westchester Supreme Court, where CW Capital Asset Management and U.S. Bank

of Minneapolis filed a mortgage foreclosure action nearly a year ago. Justice Gretchen Walsh appointed a receiver to run the resort while the interested parties figured out how to wind down their affairs. Arrowwood closed on Jan. 12. DCCA — consisting of the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Alfred and Doris Kaskel — bought Arrowwood from Citibank in 1986. It has 373 hotel rooms, a conference center, golf course and driving range and other sports as well as recreational and dining facilities. According to Heller, there was no legitimate reason to foreclose on the mortgage. The resort was current on its financial obligations, he states in an affidavit, and it made a $4.7 million profit in 2018. But under receivership, according to Heller, Arrowwood lost more than $1 million in 2019. The stigma of the mortgage foreclosure hurt its reputation and more than 100 rooms were closed to clean up mold “that never would have happened on our watch.” DCCA tried to buy the mortgage from CW Capital for $40 million to $42 million, according to Heller, but got no response.

By last September, he states, it was clear that Arrowwood “was being run into the ground.” He asked Cohen, who had previously expressed interest in partnering with DCCA, if he was interested in buying the mortgage. He claims they discussed forming a joint

venture to own and operate Arrowwood. A nondisclosure agreement was drafted, prohibiting Cohen Brothers and its affiliates from revealing any confidential information to any lender. Then CW Capital assigned the mortgage to an affiliate, Anderson Hill Road Loan LLC,

IN COURT | Bill Heltzel which assigned it to Anderson Hill Road Capital, a Cohen affiliate. “It is self-evident,” Heller states in the affidavit, “that Cohen and other Cohen parties breached (the nondisclosure agreement) in order to buy the loan directly from the lender behind DCCA’s back.” Cohen then allegedly declined to provide more funding to keep Arrowwood operating. Events and bookings were canceled, employees were fired and the resort closed. In Cohen’s version, Heller was running a “bait and switch,” luring him into discussions, making exorbitant demands, declining to contribute any capital and then signing the nondisclosure agreement after the bank note was sold. “There was absolutely no purpose for the nondisclosure letter at that juncture,” Cohen states, “other than to be a litigation trap sprung by DCCA so that they could manufacture an alleged breach of contract claim.” Cohen was familiar with Arrowwood. He grew up in Harrison, his firm held events there and he has developed other nearby projects. It was common knowledge, he states, that the resort was in disrepair and financial distress. “DCCA approached me and begged me to act as a ‘white knight,’ ” according to his affidavit. The family wanted him to take control of the property, redevelop it and allow DCCA to maintain a silent minority position to help the family “avoid paying significant tax liabilities.” His initial plan was to restore Arrowwood to its past grandeur. But when he toured the property in October he found structures beyond repair, poorly maintained facilities, lack of routine maintenance and an antiquated layout. “The existing hotel could not be salvaged,” according to his affidavit. “We would need to start from scratch, demolish the existing building and build an entirely new structure.” He claims Heller agreed with his conclusions, and after he acquired the bank note, Heller congratulated him in writing. Cohen claims he never used any confidential information from DCCA to obtain the bank note, and given his plans for the property, DCCA’s financial and operational data was “of virtually no use.” Justice Andrew Borrok in Manhattan Supreme Court found Cohen’s legal argument “hollow.” He granted DCCA a preliminary injunction Feb. 25, restraining Cohen from foreclosing on the mortgage for now, “to preserve the status quo.”

A Luxembourg lender has filed a foreclosure action on 1311 Mamaroneck Ave., a massive White Plains office complex that once housed IBM offices. AB Commercial Real Estate Debt, an affiliate of AllianceBernstein, the global investment management firm based in Manhattan,

claims that an Onyx Equities affiliate defaulted on the mortgage in January and owes more than $30.5 million. AB Commercial demanded that the office complex be sold to pay off the debt, according to a complaint filed Feb. 24 in Westchester Supreme Court. The 23-acre property borders the Hutchinson River Parkway and is across the street from Saxon Woods Park. The 1311 Mamaroneck Ave. building was built in 1982 and comprises three floors with 327,311 square feet. Three sections have their own entrances and lobbies, making it appear as if there are three separate buildings. IBM vacated the complex in 1997. The Jack Parker Corp. then converted the sprawling, single-tenant structure to a multitenant corporate campus, attracting organizations such as Gerber Life Insurance and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

In Court—

Onyx Equities, based in Woodbridge, New Jersey, acquired the building for $13.9 million in 2006, according to Westchester property records, and sold it to Caf West for $81.8 million in 2008. The new owner defaulted on its mortgage and Onyx bought back the building for $40 million in 2014. Then OSG Mamaroneck LLC, an Onyx affiliate, borrowed $35.15 million from AB Commercial, according to the complaint. Phalanx Fund III LP, another Onyx affiliate, guaranteed payment of the debt. When the loan matured on Jan. 11, the complaint states, the Onyx entities defaulted by failing to pay principal, interest and other fees totaling $30,505,000. AB Commercial is represented by Manhattan attorney Scott T. Tross.

CONNECTICUT WOMAN SUES ROCKLAND MAN CLAIMING INDIAN MARRIAGE WAS FOR VISA AND DOWRY

A Connecticut woman claims that a Rockland County man from India married her to get her dowry and jewelry and to gain entry to the U.S. Rebaca Varghese of Orange, Connecticut, sued Jaimon Varghese Thomas of New City on Feb. 25 in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains to stop him from getting out of paying his debts. Thomas “had a concealed motive to gain entry to the United States from India,” she states in an adversary proceeding challenging his Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and he married her “for immigration benefits.” Thomas’ bankruptcy attorney, Desiree de Moya of New City, did not respond to an email request for comment.

Varghese grew up in India, immigrated as a child in 2001 and became a U.S. citizen. She has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Connecticut, a master’s in secondary education from Johns Hopkins University and has worked as a high school science teacher at a private school in Stamford. Details of their relationship were summarized in 2019 by a Stamford Superior Court judge who presided over a 13-day trial in which she sought to annul the marriage. In 2015, her parents in Kerala, India, posted her profile on a website to reach eligible young men with a similar ethnic and Christian background. Thomas represented himself as “an independent, driven, motivated, family-centered God-fearing individual,” according to the trial memo, with advanced degrees from Indian uni-

versities, a job as a financial analyst and enough proficiency in English to work in America. Their parents arranged a marriage, with the couple’s approval. They met for the first time two days before the 2015 marriage. Her family paid a $15,000 dowry and bought her $20,805 in jewelry for the wedding. The jewelry was then left with him in India when she returned to the U.S. After their honeymoon at a tea plantation, they never again had intimate contact, according to the trial memo. Their communications were infrequent and hostile. He demanded a greater dowry and received another $15,000 from her family. Thomas obtained a visa in 2016, spent time with relatives in California and then moved in with her in Stamford, where he slept on a sofa and the relationship

remained “distant and hostile,” according to the trial memo. She claims his language skills were weak, he misrepresented his education and he seldom worked. Her Connecticut lawsuit alleges that the marriage contract was fraudulent. Thomas denied her claims of fraud and abuse but he also sought to end the marriage due to an “irretrievable breakdown” that happened after he moved to Connecticut. He demanded alimony and “a fair division of property and assets.” Judge Anthony D. Truglia Jr. annulled the marriage. He denied Thomas’ demand for alimony and ordered him to return the jewelry by May 1, 2019, pay his ex-wife $37,000 as a property settlement and pay $20,000 as a portion of her legal fees. On Jan. 9, Thomas petitioned the bankruptcy court in White Plains for Chapter 13 protection. He declared

$19,496 in assets — consisting mostly of a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander — and $99,692 in liabilities, including his debt to Varghese. He listed a $150 watch as his only jewelry. Her attorney, Anne Penachio of White Plains, argued that Thomas should be denied a discharge of debts to her because he failed to return her jewelry and he made a false oath when he failed to disclose possession of her jewelry in his bankruptcy petition. A debt also may not be discharged if it is incurred in a divorce or separation, she states, or if it was obtained by false pretenses, false representations or fraud. The Connecticut court, she states, found clear and convincing evidence that Thomas obtained consent for marriage by material misrepresentations. He “misrepresented his financial background, his education, his earning capacity, his language proficiency

IN COURT | Bill Heltzel Francis, according to Westchester property records. It includes a mansion house and 14 lots on 22 acres at Lexington Avenue and Strawberry Hill Road. The Brodskys allege that Catucci recently received $914,487 on an insurance claim for damages to the mansion house, where he lives. Catucci never advised his partners about the

damages or the insurance claim, according to the petition, and he deposited the money in his personal bank account rather than in the company account. They also claim that Catucci altered a document, in an attempt to defraud the company. The letter of intent had given Catucci the option to buy the 14 lots for $150,000 each, accord-

ing to the petition, but he changed the price to about $35,700 each, lowering the total price from $2.1 million to $500,000. Catucci also had a 25% interest in two companies that own bungalows on Regina Avenue and on East Main Street in Cortlandt Manor. He is responsible for collecting rents, but » IN COURT

WARNER BROS. ACCUSES NANUET CPA OF LOSING $1.3M TO HACKER

Warner Bros. has accused a Rockland County CPA firm of accounting malpractice for allegedly enabling a hacker to divert $1.3 million from the entertainment company. WB Studio Enterprises Inc. of Burbank, California, sued Dan Schwartz CPA PC, of Nanuet, Feb. 25 in federal court in White Plains. “Schwartz failed to ensure that its network or email systems were sufficiently secure or protected against unauthorized access and hacking,” the complaint states, “which left Schwartz’s emails — and therefore Warner Bros.’ confidential business and financial information — vulnerable to unauthorized access and manipulation by a hacker.” Schwartz did not respond to an email request for its side of the story. Schwartz worked for Warner Bros. briefly in early 2019, after the Burbank company acquired Entertainment Merchandise NY (EMNY). Schwartz had been EMNY’s longtime accountant, according to the complaint, so Warner Bros. paid him $2,000 to continue handling

the accounting temporarily. In February 2019, a hacker infiltrated Schwartz’s network or email system, the complaint states, using an IP address from outside of the U.S. The hacker was able to monitor Schwartz’s emails and confidential client information. EMNY had a savings account with $1.3 million that had become Warner Bros. property. Schwartz was authorized to transfer funds from EMNY’s bank account to a Warner Bros. account at Bank of America. But the hacker intercepted the message and replaced it with a request to transfer the funds to a Wells Fargo account. The Schwartz firm did not notice that the hacker misspelled the email address of the Warner Bros.’ employee who authorized the transfer, according to the complaint, and the CPA firm did not verify the transfer. Schwartz wired the money to Wells Fargo. In another alleged incident, the hacker altered an invoice from an EMNY vendor, and directed funds to be wired to Lloyds Bank instead of the vendor’s account at Barclay’s Bank. The two transactions totaled about $1.3 million, the complaint states, and Warner Bros. has been unable to identify the hacker or recover the funds. Besides accounting malpractice, Warner Bros.

accused Schwartz of breach of contract for allegedly not safeguarding its funds. Warner Bros. is represented by White Plains attorneys Russell M. Yankwitt and Alicia A. Tallbe.

L.I. DEVELOPERS SAY PARTNER DIVERTED FUNDS FROM MOHEGAN LAKE, CORTLANDT MANOR PROJECTS

Nassau County real estate developers have asked Westchester Supreme Court to dissolve three companies, claiming that their partner diverted $914,487 and other funds from projects in Mohegan Lake and Cortlandt Manor. “It is no longer possible to carry on the business,” Bert and Muriel Brodsky state in petitions filed in Westchester Supreme Court against partner and co-manager William Catucci. Efforts to reach Catucci for his side of the story were unsuccessful. Several family trusts controlled by Muriel Brodsky own half of Lake Mohegan Mansion LLC, the developer of a 22-acre property known as Fieldstone Manor. Catucci owns the other half and co-manages the property with Bert E. Brodsky, the founder and chairman of BEB Capital of Port Washington. Lake Mohegan Mansion bought the property for $2.3 million in 2002 from the Missionary Sisters of the Third Order of Saint

is allegedly refusing to give the payments to the companies. The Brodskys are asking the court to order a financial accounting of the enterprises, dissolve the companies, order the properties to be sold and distribute the net assets to the owners. They are represented by Richard L. O’Rourke and Andrew P. Tureaud of Keane & Beane PC in White Plains.

The mastermind of a phony mortgage debt relief scheme who ran a make-believe foundation in Valhalla was sentenced Feb. 28 to 11 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Nelson S. Roman also sentenced Jacqueline Graham, 54, to five years of supervised release and ordered her to repay $694,450 to her victims and to forfeit $138,942 in ill-gotten gains. “As the overwhelming trial evidence demonstrated,” prosecutors state in a sen-

tencing memorandum, “Graham was the mastermind behind a highly complex and sophisticated, massive, years-long national fraudulent scheme.” The prosecutors recommended a prison sentence of nearly 22 years to more than 27 years. Graham’s attorneys recommended one year and a day. The mortgage scheme was based in Valhalla at an organization originally called the Pillow Foundation and later as the Terra Foundation. But it was not an official tax-exempt organization.

Graham and other conspirators offered to reduce or eliminate homeowners’ mortgage debts in exchange for monthly fees for various services. From 2011 to 2012, they filed more than 60 mortgage discharge papers with county clerks, on $38 million in loans, making it appear as if their clients had paid their debts. The documents were false, the deception was discovered, the mortgages were reinstated and the clients had to pay substantial fees. Her co-conspirators pleaded guilty to wire and bank fraud charges. Anthony Vigna, an attorney from Thornwood, was previously sentenced to a year and a day in prison. Bruce Lewis, formerly of Alaska and Washington state, was sentenced to seven years in prison. John Ruzza of Mahopac, Rocco Cermele of Yonkers and Paula Guadagno of Verplank have not been sentenced. Graham was the only one to contest the charges, and last June a federal jury in White Plains found her guilty. One of Graham’s victims is battling three types of cancer, lost the family home and paid out $25,000 in fees, assistant prosecutors David R. Felton, Michael D. Maimin and James McMahon stated in their sentencing memo. Graham advised the woman to declare bankruptcy and “promised her that she would save so much money that she would be able to wear Armani shirts,” according to the sentencing memo. After the woman was evicted and her credit rating plummeted, Graham extracted more fees for bogus credit restoration services. She defrauded a military veteran who works as a florist and landscaper out of $501,100. Graham’s attorneys — Bruce D. Koffsky of Stamford and Peter J. Schaffer of the Bronx — depict her as the product of a broken home and two physically abusive marriages. Despite the history of domestic violence, she found a good partner for her third marriage and raised four children and cared for a grandson. She has numerous medical ailments. She has no previous criminal history. She was recruited to the Terra Foundation by co-defendant Bruce Lewis, when her own property was in foreclosure. They argue that her role was “virtually indistinguishable from that of her co-defendants,” and they recommended the same sentence that Vigna got — a year and day. But Graham was more culpable than her partners, according to the prosecutors, because she personally befriended and defrauded at least one victim; she controlled Terra’s bank accounts; she instituted the policy of charging victims for fraudulent services; she tried to conceal her role by demanding that her name be removed from key documents; she hid some of her ill-gotten gains in Germany; and she alone refused to accept responsibility for her conduct. “Graham,” the prosecutors stated, “was at the very top of the Terra fraud.”

4TH QUARTER CYBER MONDAY SALES RECORDS INDICATE CONTINUED TREND OF WAREHOUSE NEEDS OVER RETAIL SPACE ccording to Scott Recknor of the Black Creek Group and Globe Street sources, Cyber Monday sales hit a record of$9 billion, up 19% from 2018’s $7.9 billion. As e-commerce sales are only 12% of total sales, additional penetration of digital sales is certain to continue. E-commerce requires up to three times as much warehousing space as compared to regular brick and mortar retail activity, according to Reknor, there is a strong leasing demand for industrial warehouses throughout the United States and Westchester. While consumers are attracted to convenience and speed in fulfillment offered by e-commerce, brick and mortar stores can differentiate themselves by way of service, flexibility and a superior shopping experience.

Westchester Multifamily Apartment Financial Strength Continues Unabated

High deliveries of newly developed apartment units during Q4, did not dent the strength of the multifamily sector in Westchester and fundamentals remain stellar. The unabated strength of apartment demand continues to attract investment capital as new projects have been able to pass on most of incurred construction costs increases or make modifications that help offset higher costs.

Market Trends Forcing Retail Adaptation

Large mall and shopping center owners continue to face store closings of wellknown established brands, particularly in the soft-goods categories. These brands have become increasingly vulnerable to e-commerce and digital sales competition. Gap, JC Penney and Foot Locker have recently announced additional closures.

The traditional “anchor” store formerly occupied by these and other recently shuttered retailers must be reformatted.

Our market observations support the view that industrial properties continue to be in high demand. As a result, reported industrial space take up was very strong and vacancy declined .3%. Industrial/flex lease pricing has been stable over the last three quarters and in an upward trajectory since 2014. There is no new supply planned for this segment of the market in the area south of I-287 therefore, a firm market with upward pressure on occupancy and pricing is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

GDC OPENS FIRST MAJOR UPDATE TO CITY SQUARE COMPLEX AT 50 MAIN STREET OFFICE BUILDING IN WHITE PLAINS Ginsburg Development Companies has recently opened a new “Mezzanine Amenity Level” at 50 Main Street in White Plains, the office building anchor of its three-building transformation of the former Westchester Financial Center into City Square, a new live/work/ play destination at the city’s train station gateway. The recently completed Mezzanine Amenity Level includes:

Art will continue to be a prominent feature in City Square’s renovation with GDC and ArtsWestchester continuing its collaboration on public art installations for the 50 Main Street lobby, the public spaces in the 1 Martine Avenue apartment building, GDC, page 11

Art Gallery

• Modernized cafeteria with outdoor dining • State-of-the-art fitness center with personal trainer • Yoga/motion/spin room • Art gallery lounge curated by ArtsWestchester • Lecture hall and training room • Game room • Golf simulator • Private dining and conference room • Executive board room • Mobile phone privacy booths The new 50 Main amenity level will soon be followed by other improvements, including a new building entry with a 25-foot monumental sculpture, an expanded modernized lobby with enhanced building security, a lobby-level patisserie and a private two-acre City Square Park connecting the three buildings in the complex. Future City Square improvements include new Main Street retail and restaurant space and the repurposing of the former 1 Martine Avenue office building into 188 luxury rental apartments. “The new building amenities set the tone for the entire reinvention of this key property located at the epicenter of Westchester County’s central business district. We have delivered an amenity package that raises the bar and sets a new benchmark for White Plains office buildings,” said GDC Principal Martin Ginsburg. A key feature of the amenity level is a permanent art collection curated by ArtsWestchester that features paintings, photography and sculpture from artists based in Westchester County and the region. “ArtsWestchester would like to salute Martin Ginsburg for having the vision to understand that art enlivens spaces with creative energy that helps motivate us all to be creative in our business endeavors,” said ArtsWestchester CEO Janet Langsam.

REAL ESTATE

Everything You Need In One Exciting Place Located at the gateway to downtown White Plains, just steps from the Metro-North Station, 50 Main Street is Westchester County’s prime business location. A magnificent 15-story Class A office building, 50 Main is part of the City Square mixed-use complex, now undergoing a dramatic transformation by developer Martin Ginsburg that sets a new market standard for office building amenities. Space Available from 2,400 Square Feet to a Full Floor of 23,000 Square Feet.

Jack Welch, former General Electric chief executive, dies at 84 dramatic acquisitions — including RCA and Kidder Peabody — and the creation of new businesses, including GE Capital Bank. He also generated controversy with massive workforce cuts, earning the nickname “Neutron Jack” — a reference to the neutron bomb that would kill people but leave buildings intact. In his 2001 autobiography “Jack: Straight From The Gut,” Welch noted that GE had 411,000 employees in the year before he took the chief executive role and had 299,000 five years later. Welch’s management style earned very mixed reviews. Fortune magazine hailed him as “manager of the century” in 1999, claiming his actions multiplied GE’s value “beyond anyone’s expectations.” But The New York Times complained, “His legacy is not only a changed GE, but a changed American corporate ethos, one that prizes nimbleness, speed and regeneration over older ideals like stability, loyalty and permanence.” After his retirement in 2001, Welch became a consultant and best-selling author, making numerous appearances on television and at business conferences. Sacred Heart University’s Jack Welch School of Business was named in his honor in 2006, and he taught at MIT Sloan Management School of Business and created the Jack Welch Management Institute, a program at Cleveland’s Chancellor University, in 2009.

ack Welch, the former chairman and CEO of General Electric who dramatically expanded the company’s market share during a 30-year leadership tenure, died of renal failure on March 1 at the age of 84. Born John Francis Welch Jr. in Peabody, Massachusetts, on Nov. 13, 1935, Welch’s father was a conductor on the Boston & Maine Railroad and his mother was a homemaker. During his youth, he held summer jobs as a golf caddie, newspaper delivery boy, shoe salesman and drill press operator. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1957 with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering and later attended the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, where he received a masters and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering. Welch joined General Electric in 1960 as a junior chemical engineer in the company’s Pittsfield, Massachusetts, plastics division facility. He worked his way up to vice president and head of the division by 1968 and began an executive ascension to vice chairman in 1979 and chairman and CEO by 1981. Welch’s leadership of the company, then headquartered in Fairfield, was marked by

Westchester County Airport.

WESTCHESTER UNVEILS EFFORT TO SHAPE AIRPORT’S FUTURE

Westchester County launched a program designed to involve the business community, environmental activists, civic organizations and residents in the planning for the future of Westchester County Airport. Some environmentalists and airport neighbors have voiced concerns about negative effects from noise as well as ground and water pollution. The concept of privatizing the airport also has been raised in the past.

IN BRIEF The Community Engagement Program is intended to support the effort to create a new master plan supplement for the airport. The program is called “On the Horizon.” The supplement will focus on an analysis of the airport with respect to the physical condition of the property, buildings and infrastructure, additional analysis of noise and environmental impacts and the local and regional economic impact of the airport. This analysis will be used to develop a vision for the airport.

Merchant Aviation, an aviation consulting firm focused on airport development based in Summit, New Jersey, has been hired to provide a report of the economic value and environmental impacts of the airport for the supplement. Public relations firm Arch Street Communications has been tasked with engaging the public throughout the process. The White Plains-based firm advertises that it helps clients communicate about issues such as transportation, safety, energy, jobs and the environment. The announcement was made at the airport on Feb. 27. An initial public meeting is planned for March 19 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER | By Jonna Spilbor

Leveraging the media part of Spilbor’s legal success

henever I find myself taking a trip down “memory lane,” I find myself lingering on 2008. That was the year I leapt from the cozy confines of someone else’s law practice into my very own woman-owned business. In the words of Charles Dickens, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” The notion of endless possibilities that comes with reaching for one’s biggest dreams is, of course, exhilarating. The flip side of endless possibilities is the fear of failure. Or, in my case, sheer terror. When I took the leap from employee to business owner, I did so — figuratively and literally — without a net. I spent my last bit of savings to secure a long-

term lease on office space. I had no marketing budget and, truth be told, I had no budget, period. I bought a cheap desk, a phone and plenty of tissues to dry my tears in the early days. I also had no employees and, perhaps most importantly, no clients. What I did have was desire and drive, which were instilled in me by my dad, who still owns his own business after 55 years. His work ethic is in my DNA. I also had confidence in my skills as an attorney and advocate. I trusted my ingenuity and intuition. Above all, I had an abiding belief in the adage that, if you want something badly enough, the whole world conspires to help you get it. In 2008, I wanted to build a successful law practice and all I had to get it off

the ground was entirely intangible — save for the large office space for which I was only able to pay one month’s rent in advance while committing to a fiveyear lease. Ballsy? You bet. As a woman in a largely male-dominated field, I knew there would be challenges on the road to my success, and figured most of them would come from inside the courtroom in the form of opponents with whom I would go toe-to-toe on behalf of a client, and then meet for drinks and pats on the back after a hard day in court just like a scene from “Ally McBeal” or “Boston Legal.” I could not have been more wrong. The biggest hurdles I faced in growing my business came from outside competition. I spent a lot

of time bobbing and weaving around some pretty unfriendly foes and still do. Thanks to the heat, I realized it wasn’t going to be enough to hang a shingle, acquire clients and be the best damn lawyer I could be. If I wanted growth, longevity and, ultimately, to provide security for myself backed by a team of excellent attorneys aligned with my vision, I needed to actively and intentionally build a business. Here are three ways I embraced this shift in thinking and created incredible momentum in my career: • Instead of focusing on keeping up with the competition, I focused on aligning with professionals who were on my side and had a vested interest in my success. I embraced my allies and began my ascent to the

head of the pack. • To expand my influence and connections beyond the courtroom, I dove into the world of thought leadership. By leveraging the media, I have been able to share my authentic expertise with the world in bold, fun ways across print, broadcast and radio platforms. This has positioned me as an expert in the field of law and led to new clients and wider income streams. • According to the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, as of 2018 there were 12.3 million women-owned businesses in the U.S., and just 25% of women were likely to seek financing for their business, compared to 34% of male entrepreneurs. To set myself up for financial success and stability, I

sought out, and formed an allegiance with, a trusted community bank. If I could give any aspiring business owner a word of advice as she embarks on building her own dreams, it would be this: Small shifts in your thinking can have a big impact on your business. Do not be distracted by those who do not have your best interests at heart. Surround yourself with people who not only can help you succeed, but who want it as badly as you.

Bank of America reports positive outlook for Hispanic businesses BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN

GOALS FOR THE NEXT DECADE

kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

.S. Hispanic small-business owners and entrepreneurs are anticipating a decade of robust expansion and growth, a brighter outlook than their non-Hispanic peers have for the year ahead, according to the fourth annual Bank of America Business Advantage 2020 Hispanic Business Owner Spotlight. “What we’re seeing are big numbers,” Bank of America Vice President, Small Business Manager Jamie Anderson told the Business Journal. “Our report shows that this segment is extremely positive about where the economy is and where it’s going, which should bolster confidence for 2020 and the decade ahead for every sector.” The cohort has expressed a bullish attitude in each of the four years the bank has published the survey, Anderson noted. “These figures are at or near all-time highs,” he said.

The study, based on a survey of more than 1,000 entrepreneurs across the country, revealed: • 89% of Hispanic small-business owners plan to expand over the next 12 months (vs. 68% of non-Hispanic entrepreneurs, and up from 87% in 2019). • 79% expect their revenue to increase in the year ahead, a fouryear high (vs. 57% of non-Hispanic entrepreneurs, and up from 74% in 2019). • 45% plan to hire in 2020 (vs. 24% of non-Hispanic small-business owners, and down from 51% in 2019). • 78% plan to obtain financing over the next 12 months (vs. 49% of non-Hispanic entrepreneurs). The top three ways Hispanic entrepreneurs intend to obtain financing are tapping into personal savings (38%), applying for a bank loan (31%) and using personal credit cards (23%).

the decade as one of opportunity as 92% of business owners say they believe the small-business environment will strengthen for their community over the next five years, and 90% have set ambitious goals to advance or grow their business in the decade. Their top five goals over the next 10 years include: significantly increasing revenue (57%), prioritizing the digital presence of their business (45%), expanding into new markets (34%), significantly increasing staff (30%) and automating business operations (29%). Also, 62% of Hispanic small-business owners are confident their local economy will improve in the year ahead (vs. 52% of non-Hispanic entrepreneurs, and down from 68% in 2019),

and 53% are confident the national economy will improve over the next 12 months (vs. 49% of non-Hispanic small-business owners, and down from 59% in 2019). Health care costs remain the most worrisome economic issue for Hispanic entrepreneurs at 63%, though concern fell to the lowest level since the survey began in 2017. Other top concerns of Hispanic business owners in 2020 include the political environment (59%), strength of the U.S. dollar (59%), commodities prices (56%), consumer spending (56%) and interest rates (55%). Hispanic/Latino businesses in the area total 21,309 in Fairfield County and 33,391 in Westchester, according to the latest U.S. Census data. According to a study

from Stanford University, the number of Latino business owners grew 34% over the last decade, compared to 1% for all business owners

in the U.S. That study also found that Latino-owned businesses contributed about $500 billion to the economy in annual sales. A 2019 report to Congress based on data from 2017 found almost 60 million Latinos in the nation accounted for $2.3 trillion in economic activity in total, which would equate to the eighth-largest economy in the world. With Latinos projected to make up 30% of the U.S. population this year, the group's contributions are only likely to grow. Latino-owned businesses employ more than 3 million people, according to the Stanford study, accounting for about 4% of U.S. business revenues and 5.5% of U.S. employment. However, Latino-owned companies remain smaller than white-owned firms, averaging $1.2 million in

revenue compared with $2.3 million brought in by a white-owned company.

THE ELECTION LOOMS

Anderson remarked that election years are always a source of apprehension, especially as the 2020 presidential election nears. According to the Pew Research Center, Latinos are poised to be the largest racial or ethnic minority

group to be eligible to vote in a presidential election, with an estimated 32 million potential voters, compared with about 30 million African-Americans. Latinos are expected to make up about 13.3% of the electorate this year, according to Pew. The BofA report found that a lack of resources, lack of expertise and access to capital were cited as the top challenges small-business owners face. Anderson said the “lack of expertise” concern is a by-product of how quickly the businesses are expanding. Bank of America has 450,000 Hispanic small-business owners as customers, representing 14% of its 3.3 million small-business clients. Its Spanishlanguage mobile app has more than 2 million users, representing a 23% yearover-year growth rate.

THE NEXT BIG THING Azlo offers fee-free online banking for entrepreneurs BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

uring the past few years, the U.S. financial services industry has seen a rise in so-called “neobanks,” digital-only financial services providers that eschew the traditional retail banking reliance on physical branches. According to a report by Business Insider Intelligence, the neobank model first flourished in Europe but has since crossed the Atlantic as many small- and midsized-business owners have complained about the level of customer experience they received from their banks. Among the new wave of U.S. neobanks is Azlo, an online-exclusive financial

MARCH 9, 2020

services provider aiming exclusively at the small business sector. “Anyone who lives in the U.S. and does contract work is eligible to be an Azlo customer,” said Cameron Peake, co-founder and chief executive of the San Franciscoheadquartered company. “We offer accounts to a wide range of businesses, including sole proprietors, corporations, limited liability companies and general partnerships.” Azlo’s strength, according to Peake, is gained by cutting away the various strings that burden many traditional business bank accounts. “Digital banks like Azlo offer a convenient and free way for people who want the perks of using a business account without the costs

Cameron Peake, co-founder and CEO of Azlo.

and challenges that come with business banking at traditional brick-and-mortar banks,” she continued. “Azlo is the first fee-free digital business banking platform that offers an array of productivity solutions for entrepreneurs, like bill pay, invoicing and other accounting solutions.” Peake launched Azlo in

2017 and has partnered with several established financial services companies to support its products and services. Its accounts are Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.-insured through its partner bank, BBVA USA. “Azlo partnered with Kabbage to offer a streamlined way for Azlo customers to apply for and manage

loans that are provided by Kabbage,” she said, adding that the bank’s relationship with Mission Street Capital “accelerates the loan application process and broadens small business access to capital. This partnership with Kabbage is filling a gap in our financial system and enabling small businesses to succeed.” As for enhancing the customer experience, Peake pointed out that the Azlo customer requires “less than half the time to set up an account compared to other banks.” She noted Azlo provides its customers fee-free ATM cards that can be used at the 55,000 ATMs in the Allpoint network, and Azlo accounts also include unlimited feefree ACH transactions. However, customers who

want to write out a check will not be able to put pen to paper. “Azlo does not offer checkbooks,” Peake stated. “However, you can mail a check to anyone through our bill pay service, and you can deposit checks in minutes using our mobile app.” For her own banking tastes, Peake admitted a fondness for “using digital channels to offer more affordable financial services to people that banks haven’t traditionally served in the past.” However, she did not envision expanding the Azlo platform to encompass non-business banking. “As banking technologies continue to rapidly develop, the future of consumer banking is undoubtedly digital,” she said.
