SEC v. Gastauer

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment imposing approximately $3.3 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest against Raimund Gastauer. It held that Gastauer forfeited all challenges to the post-remand jurisdictional-discovery order, the use of the Federal Rules rather than the Hague Convention, and the resulting sanctions by abandoning the proceedings and failing to present those objections directly to the district court. The court declined to excuse the forfeitures because Gastauer offered no basis for plain-error review or discretionary review in extraordinary circumstances.
