A jury listened to a secret recording Tuesday of a Wall Street weirdo saying he’d hired detectives to investigate an ex-employee and alleged paramour who sued him for $850 million.
New York Global Group CEO Benjamin Wey’s strange, heated phone conversation with Swedish stunner Hanna Bouveng included pleas for her to dine with him at Per Se, as well as vague threats.
“Hanna, you have been cheating on me since the end of February. We have those videos,” Wey said.
“We have detectives.”
The recording was made in April 2014 by Yoni Weiss, a former employee of Wey’s online magazine, The Blot, who has also sued Wey. He said Wey lost it once Bouveng threatened him with her sexual harassment suit.
“He said he’d hired a former FBI investigator to look into the phenomenon of Swedish party girls,” Weiss said.
