Career
Zamansky worked for the Federal Trade Commission as a federal prosecutor, and at the firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. In June 2001, Zamansky won a securities arbitration case against Wall Street firm Merrill Lynch and stock analyst Henry Blodget and received a $400,000 settlement.
In late 2006, Zamansky filed a case against a Long Island-based financial adviser alleging the defendant's clients were the victims of predatory lending.
