The FBI said Den Hollander was the "primary subject in the attack" and confirmed he had been pronounced dead but provided no other details. Found among his personal effects was information about another judge, New York Chief Judge Janet DiFiore, a state court spokesperson said. In writings posted online, Den Hollander derided the judge as having traded on her Hispanic heritage to get ahead. Den Hollander was best known in years past for unsuccessful lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of "ladies night" promotions at bars and nightclubs. Den Hollander filed for bankruptcy in 2011, citing more than $120,000 in credit card debt, as well as rent and other expenses.
