Greater New York Mutual's 300 page racketeering complaint in Brooklyn federal court is the fourth carrier-side RICO aimed at the same book of business, and the first to name the people, the successor entities, and the alleged money rails behind a personal injury firm that was already winding itself out of existence. The pleading's theory is the villain-origin move of this whole series: dissolving the entity does not dissolve the enterprise.
On January 27, 2026, Greater New York Mutual Insurance Company filed a 300 page racketeering complaint in Brooklyn federal court against Subin Associates, LLP and its name partners Herbert S. Subin and Eric D. Subin, aiming the RICO statute at a personal injury firm that, by the complaint's own telling, was already winding itself out of existence. The case is Greater New York Mutual v. Subin Associates, No. 1:26-cv-00470, Eastern District of New York, assigned to Judge Carol Bagley Amon. The pleading refuses to read the wind-down as surrender: "Subin Firm's withdrawals, massive and unprecedented as they may be, are performative. The Fraud Scheme continues." It alleges a litigation funding book "worth over $22 million" built in part on claimants steered to the firm, and it asks for treble damages, attorneys' fees, and an injunction "to prevent further abuse of the judicial system." The firm is shutting down. The suit is not.
This is the fourth carrier-side RICO aimed at the same book of business. The complaint archive maintained by defense firm Kahana Feld labels it "SUBIN IV", behind suits by Roosevelt Road Re and Tradesman in July 2024, Ionian Re in November 2024, and Union Mutual Fire in May 2025. What changed with the fourth filing is the target. GNY does not just sue the dissolving entity. It names the people, the successor entities, and the alleged money rails: funders, runners, and more than two dozen medical providers, all pleaded as one enterprise. The legal theory is the villain-origin move of this whole series: dissolving the entity does not dissolve the enterprise.
The record mechanism sits in paragraph 151. GNY alleges, on information and belief, that Subin, LLP and Cerchione Hurowitz Law Group LLP "are mere continuations of Subin Firm, and were created with intent to hinder, delay and defraud Subin Firm's future creditors." The supporting allegations are physical. Cerchione Hurowitz, formed in May 2025 by a former Subin managing member, filed an amendment placing its principal office at 150 Broadway, 23rd Floor, the same building and floor as Subin's executive office, according to the complaint. When the new firm's website went live in early January 2026, the complaint alleges, substantial portions were practically identical to Subin's defunct site, down to the attorney biographies and photographs.

The named lawyers now sit under that theory. Herbert S. Subin and Eric D. Subin, uncle and nephew, are pleaded as the managing partner and the senior partner who, per the complaint, "controlled Subin Firm and its prosecution of Claimants' claims and lawsuits." Robert J. Eisen, Arnold Baum, and Peter May, all pleaded as senior Subin attorneys or officers, are named alongside them, with Baum alleged to serve as chief operating officer and general counsel for the successor firm. The complaint also quotes an insurer letter warning Subin that "the highest number of suspected fraudulent cases seem to originate from your law firm," and cites testimony from Subin's own lawyers seeking to be relieved from cases tied to one referral source, a group counsel put at 200 to 300 cases. None of this has been tested. No defendant has answered the merits on the public docket, and every allegation remains exactly that.
The money path is where the complaint gets granular. It alleges a single cervical fusion surgery billed at $476,775.20 for one claimant, and the identical $476,775.20 figure billed for another claimant's surgery under matching CPT codes. It pleads that a former employee of funder Cartiga alleged in separate litigation that "approximately $5,500,000.00 were funded against standard underwriting policy" and that one partner firm "appeared to be all fraudulent." Broker fees on the alleged $22 million funding book exceeded $2 million, the complaint says. Under RICO, every dollar a jury credits would treble.
The next fight now has a calendar. On July 8, the docket shows orders on motions to amend the pleadings and on motions for more time to respond, plus a status report order. On July 9, a Scheduling Order was entered. Its contents sit behind PACER, but its existence means the case moved from filing to clock. One courthouse over on the same docket sheet of history, Union Mutual Fire v. Subin, No. 1:25-cv-02652, the suit Kahana Feld's archive calls SUBIN III, has been running since May 2025 and will test the same book of business first.
Greater New York Mutual, last seen in this series filing its RICO against Liakas Law, now runs the same play against a firm the complaint describes as winding down with no clients left. The carrier RICO scoreboard this series keeps reads: GNY v. Liakas, filed; Uber v. Simon & Simon, survived dismissal; Tradesman's reinsurer-standing suits, dismissed in New York; Allstate's Houston and Detroit suits, filed, the Detroit suit with no responsive pleading on the docket as of July 3; NY Marine v. Case Cash Funding, filed. SUBIN IV joins the board at filed, and it joins with a schedule. The entity wound down. The enterprise theory did not. The docket now sets the pace, and the next date on it belongs to the court, not the firm.
