Bayrock Group, Ejekam’s former employer is a successful real estate
development company, with
several high-profile partnership projects with Donald Trump. Bayrock has been at the heart
of several scandals relating
to their top executives.
Ejekam with his partner and college roommate Jody Kriss, a former CFO of
Bayrock have been involved in a $1 billion extortion scheme against the Bayrock
Group, Donald and Ivanka Trump, and several other high-profile individuals, law
firms (including Kriss’ father Ronald Kriss’ law firm Akerman Senterfitt, from
which Kriss senior was fired right after the lawsuit was filed) and major real
estate companies. Ejekam’s lawyers in that extortion case—Richard
Lerner & Frederick Oberlander—were referred for criminal prosecution twice
in that case for unethical and illegal practices of the law, by United States
Federal Judge Brian M. Cogan. The United States Attorney for the Northern
District of New York is currently investigating the criminal referral.
Ejekam and Kriss’ questionable business practices are not limited to
real estate fraud. Kriss’ has been accused of having connections to the Persico
Mafia crime family and is accused of trying to have a former business associate
murdered.
There have also been allegations of money laundering for Russian mafia
kingpins.
Kriss and Ejekam’s close relationship began long before they worked
together at Bayrock—starting when they were both in the same class at the
University of Pennsylvania, and lived in the same dorm.
Ejekam is rumored to have fled New
York to distance himself from all the illegal activities and lawsuits. He was
recently fired from the private equity firm, Actis, as Director of Real Estate
for West Africa, when his past became know to the firm. Actis developed the
largest mall in Nigeria and has extensive investments throughout Africa.
