Reuters: Harbinger Capital Partners, the hedge fund firm run by Philip Falcone, has filed a lawsuit accusing satellite TV company Dish Network and its chairman, Charles Ergen, of illegally trying to strip it of control of wireless company LightSquared during its bankruptcy. The lawsuit seeks at least $1.5 billion of damages, which Harbinger wants tripled. It alleges civil violations of the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
