Oaktree Capital's Controversial $1bn Venture with $RILY Amid Fraud Probes

Oaktree Capital is reportedly considering entering into a joint venture with a company linked to Brian Kahn, who is under multiple government investigations for securities fraud, accounting fraud, and insider trading. Concerns have been raised about the financial stability of the venture, as it involves a significant amount of investor and client money from B. Riley Financial, Inc. ($RILY), including a $1bn hole. Andy Moore and Bryant Riley are associated with the transaction, which involves Freedom VCM. There are allegations that the transaction with Kahn is fraudulent, with $FRG expected to restructure within a year, adding two independent directors.
