A legal battle is underway to find money allegedly hidden by a Michigan business owner who passed away after a massive jury verdict. Gary Raykhinshteyn, the owner of Science Beauty Tech (also known as EZ Sculpt), was ordered to pay $138 million to six women who accused him of sexual harassment and assault.
Attorney David Findling is now on the case, determined to track down the funds Raykhinshteyn allegedly stashed away. The goal is to ensure the victims receive the compensation they were awarded. Despite Raykhinshteyn's death, the pursuit of justice continues.
The lawsuit, filed in June 2024, revealed disturbing details about Raykhinshteyn's behavior. He allegedly used the company's social media accounts to send inappropriate messages to women, requesting nude photos. Those who rejected his advances faced verbal abuse, including derogatory terms like "ws, " "fat, " "ugly, " and the C-word.
One particularly chilling incident involved a teenage victim. She was lured to Florida under the pretense of a business opportunity but found herself in a disturbing situation. Raykhinshteyn allegedly made unwanted advances, even masturbating in front of her. The victim's attorney, Zachary Runyan, described the encounter as traumatic.
Raykhinshteyn's defense was dismissive, calling the accusations "bull" and claiming the case was driven by juror sympathy. He insulted his accusers, referring to them as "w, c, and stupid bs. " Despite his denials, the jury found him liable.
The case highlights a pattern of behavior aimed at controlling and intimidating women. Raykhinshteyn allegedly threatened victims with his connections to the Russian mafia, mentioning a "6'6" muscular man named John. " This tactic was used to silence those who threatened to expose him.
Despite the verdict, Raykhinshteyn's business remained open, and he planned to counter-sue. However, his death has shifted the focus to recovering the hidden assets. Attorney Todd Flood expressed confidence that the money will be found and paid to the victims.
The legal team remains committed to seeking full justice for the victims. As Zachary Runyan stated, "Gary's death does not mitigate the damage he caused. " The pursuit of accountability continues, ensuring that the victims' voices are heard and justice is served.
