Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen may never see $9.5m (£5.4m) a court ordered his former business manager to pay after she failed to respond to allegations of stealing from his retirement savings, Cohen's attorney said yesterday.
A judge granted Cohen, 71, the default judgment against Kelley Lynch in response to a lawsuit alleging she siphoned $5m from the musician's personal accounts and investments.
His attorney, Scott Edelman, said Lynch, who worked for Cohen for 17 years until he fired her, also refused to return photographs, records and memorabilia, despite a court order.
