EasyKnock Files Suit Against Connecticut Bankruptcy Trustee Alleging Defamation and Conspiracy to Extort

When it became clear the claims had no merit, the trustee schemed the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office to commence an investigation of EasyKnock

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EasyKnock, the first home equity solutions platform, today issued the following statement:

“EasyKnock is committed to helping customers navigate unexpected and challenging life events while staying in their homes. Despite our advocacy, we believe bankruptcy trustee Kara S. Rescia has wrongly displaced a customer from her home and disrupted her family life, made false and defamatory statements about EasyKnock and sought a baseless investigation by the Connecticut Attorney General, all to enrich herself as trustee. As a result, EasyKnock has been forced to respond to these unlawful practices by filing a complaint in the Connecticut Bankruptcy Court, alleging claims for tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with business expectancies, conspiracy, and defamation.”
