Trial in Murder of Universal Merchant Funding Execs to Begin Feb 5th

Nearly one year ago, Michael Genovese, the owner of Universal Merchant Funding, and Carl Clark, an employee, were found dead inside the businesses’s office in Staten Island. Former employee Ricky Dennis was arrested soon after for the double-murder. His trial is slated to begin on February 5th, according to SI Live.

Dennis had previously served time in prison for using a gun during a violent crime.

Genovese was a known operator in the small business finance community. Clark was a regular on the Daily Funder forum, and for a time was one of its most active users.
