Alphonse Fletcher vs. Kidder Peabody
In 1991, after working as an equity trader at Kidder Peabody, Fletcher filed a lawsuit in New York state court for employment racial discrimination. The New York Court of Appeals ruled that Fletcher's claim must be arbitrated. In a NYSE arbitration, Fletcher was awarded $1.26 million, and in a subsequent arbitration, the racial discrimination claim was dismissed.
Dakota lawsuit
In February 2011, Fletcher filed a lawsuit against the Board of Directors of The Dakota co-op building in Manhattan, where he had lived since 1992 and owned four apartments.[4] Among other things, he alleged defamation and unlawful discrimination.[27] In March 2010, Fletcher had signed a contract to purchase a fifth apartment at The Dakota, intending to combine it with his current home. The Dakota board said it rejected Fletcher's application based on the financial materials he provided in his application.
Hedge fund meltdown
In March 2014, The New York Times reported that "The trustee overseeing the bankruptcy of the investment firm once led by the flashy money manager Alphonse Fletcher Jr. has reached a $4.25 million settlement with the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom." The overall legal fees generated by Fletcher and his wife Ellen Pao have been estimated at over $40m.

After more than two years at reddit, I have resigned today. My first day was April 1, 2013 (go orangered!), and every day since has been an adventure.
In my eight months as reddit’s CEO, I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly on reddit. The good has been off-the-wall inspiring, and the ugly made me doubt humanity....
