LITIGATION
Hitting the Jackpot
</hdr><body>
<p> If living well is the best revenge, forcing your boss to
fork over $750,000 has got to be a close second. That is the
amount Philadelphia-based brokerage Janney Montgomery Scott
must pay gambling-industry analyst Marvin Roffman, according
to a decision last week by a New York Stock Exchange
arbitration panel. Roffman's complaint: that Janney had fired
him as a result of pressure from self-styled dealmeister Donald
Trump.
</p>
<p> When Trump launched his colossal Taj Mahal casino in
Atlantic City a year ago, a Wall Street Journal article quoted
a skeptical Roffman as saying that "once the cold winds blow
from October to February, it won't make it." Trump threatened
to sue Janney if Roffman did not apologize. The analyst
refused, and Janney dismissed him, citing "violations of
company policy." As for Trump, whose Taj Mahal has felt the
cold wind and is flirting with insolvency, Roffman is suing him
for $2 million.
