Hedge Funder Offered $75,000 to His Girlfriend for Abortion

Ron Ozer and Elmira Naymark first met in 2013, according to court documents, and as reported by the New York Post. In what amounted to a whirlwind romance, the couple traveled together, wined, and dined, met each other’s families, and spent two and a half years growing closer. All that apparently ended when Naymark discovered she was pregnant in January of this year. That was when Ozer reportedly offered her tens of thousands of dollars to terminate her pregnancy, amid other messages, calling her “white trash” and telling her “I f***ing hate you.” He reportedly made the cash payment offer through a colleague. The Post reports that the colleague told Naymark, “He’d be willing to offer a lump sum of money to you . . . I’m sure he would have no problem with 50k-75,000+.” Naymark has filed court papers and is suing Ozer for child support, a paternity test, and full legal custody of the baby girl she gave birth to in September, among other claims. Court documents also state that Naymark has had to resort to Medicaid and food stamps to help her get by while she waits for Ozer to accept his responsibility.
