Israeli attorney Steven Slom awarded damages of $1 after being falsely accused of money laundering by Kenneth Rijock

Israel-based attorney Steven Slom has been awarded nominal damages of $1 by a jury in Miami after being falsely described as a ‘money launderer, tax evader and career criminal’ by self-described ‘financial crime consultant’ Kenneth Rijock in private communications with a resident of Houston, Texas. Slom did not pursue damages against Rijock for similar false claims in Rijock's online 'Financial Crime Blog' after Rijock published "a complete and total retraction" shortly after being sued in 2016.
