Sean Coffey

John P. ("Sean") Coffey is the co-founder and Managing Director of BlackRobe Capital, as well as a retired Navy Captain, former assistant U.S. Attorney, and former candidate for New York State Attorney General. He is most notable for leading the lawsuit against WorldCom on behalf of the New York State Common Retirement Fund and other plaintiffs. In the WorldCom case, Coffey and his team recovered over $6 billion from Wall Street banks and forced the responsible parties to personally pay millions of dollars in compensation. This led Bloomberg Markets to dub Coffey "Wall Street's New Nemesis." In late 2009, Coffey retired from his partnership at Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann to seek the Democratic nomination for New York State Attorney General in which he finished third out of five candidates. In 2011, Sean Coffey co-founded BlackRobe Capital Partners.
