Gunderson Dettmer Wins War for Hellers Money Laundering Practice

Evi­lEsq has received con­fir­ma­tion that Gun­der­son Dettmer Stough Vil­leneuve Franklin & Hachi­gian LLP won the bid­ding war for Heller Ehrman’s money laun­der­ing prac­tice. Coo­ley God­ward Kro­nish LLP was the first looser in the “heated” bat­tle which we sus­pect took place in the “exec­u­tive con­fer­ence facil­i­ties of the Ritz.” But nei­ther Mar­cia Hatch (a/k/a Mar­sha Hatch, Mar­sha Brugge­man, Mar­cia Brugge­man) or her crim­i­nal defense attor­ney, Miles Ehrlich returned the calls we didn’t place.

Accord­ing to one Sil­i­con Val­ley observer, Mar­sha–Mar­cia Hatch’s con­nec­tion to “Scot­tie,” the pur­ported head of a sig­nif­i­cant Bay Area nar­cotics traf­fick­ing orga­ni­za­tion (who she befriended while liv­ing in the dorms at the Uni­ver­sity of Cal­i­for­nia Berke­ley) cou­pled with her skill at “solic­it­ing” clien­tele likely pushed the bid­ding into the troposphere.

“Obvi­ously, the fact that Ms. Hatch moved with the money laun­der­ing prac­tice means that any politi­cians, judges, etc. who’ve depended on cash gifts for pocket money won’t miss a pay­off which of course is crit­i­cal to the con­tin­u­ing suc­cess of the operation”

99.9 per­cent of new busi­nesses seek­ing financ­ing out­side the founders’ close net­work are rebuffed by pro­fes­sional ven­ture cap­i­tal­ists. “An entre­pre­neur can have a mar­velous idea or inven­tion but unless they’ve con­sti­tuted an ‘A’ cal­iber man­age­ment team to com­mer­cial­ize it, ven­ture cap­i­tal­ists won’t bite,” our in-house ven­ture cap­i­tal expert observed. “Cer­tainly, Mar­cia Brugge­man Hatch’s cap­i­tal source isn’t as par­tic­u­lar as pro­fes­sional VCs who invest money sourced from insti­tu­tions and high net worth indi­vid­u­als. With the econ­omy in decline and many ven­ture cap­i­tal­ists tight­en­ing their invest­ment cri­te­ria, it’s a win-win for every­one. The entre­pre­neurs can entre­pre­neur, ‘Scot­tie’ can clean his excess cash, and the law firm of course has a client who can pay their exor­bi­tant bills.”

DO NOT RETAIN GUNDERSON DETTMER unless you pro­tect yourself.

In addi­tion to the fore­go­ing, Mar­cia Hatch and her hus­band, Sea­mus Hatch, engi­neered the theft of over $25 mil­lion of assets of Barra Part­ners, a mer­chant bank­ing firm– among other crimes these two have engaged in– includ­ing con­spir­acy to laun­der money, mail and iden­tity theft. Both are psy­chopaths. We strongly advise not using Gun­der­son as this pair will use sen­si­tive, con­fi­den­tial or pro­pri­etary infor­ma­tion to the dis­ad­van­tage of their clients or asso­ciates. They may even steal that infor­ma­tion from other Gun­der­son lawyers with­out their knowledge.
