The following excerpt is from Martinelli v. Bridgeport Roman Catholic, 196 F.3d 409 (2nd Cir. 1998):
2. See, e.g., Lippitt v. Ashley, 89 Conn. 451, 94 A. 995, 1005 (Conn. 1915) (no fraudulent concealment where directors of bank failed to discover treasurer's ongoing embezzlement). We can find no case from Connecticut (or any other jurisdiction) in which defendant's breach of a duty to investigate was sufficient to meet the actual knowledge requirement for fraudulent concealment.
