    ARE YOU KIDDING ME. THIS GONIF STEALS OVER 200MIL FROM CORP. AND GETS 2 YEARS PROBATION OR JAIL TIME (IT’S NOT CLEAR WHICH) AND HE HAS TO GIVE BACK A MEASLEY 7.5 MIL. DO THE MATH. THE TIME IS WORTH THE CRIME. HE’S 61 AND READY TO RETIRE ANYWAY. THE JUDGE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF. SOME POOR SCHLUMP AUTO APPRAISER TAKES A MEASLEY $20.00 BILL AND THEY RUIN HIM AND TAKE AWAY HIS LIVELIHOOD.
    WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? THE LAWYERS RUN THIS COUNTRY AND THEY ALWAYS WILL.

    How about making the current firm pay back the $250MM that they benefited from over that period of time, PLUS the $11MM, PLUS a hefty fine for their participation in this glorious scheme?? Oh, forgot about raiding their retirement funds also. That might help.

    Got away with murder? I’d say thats a bit of an exaggeration.

    He got sentenced to 2 years in federal prison, 2 years probation, 1,000 hours of community service, ordered to forfeit $7.75 million and pay a $250,000 fine for paying for clients to participate in lawsuits.

    And as the corporate defendants paid out
    200 ml, there must have been some merit or exposure to the cases

    What would be fair is for the “legitimate class actions plaintiffs” who were supposedly cheated by the kickback scheme, should file a “Class-Action” suit against the firm, and recover the $250 million that the firm profited over the past 2 decades (with interest). Hopefully, the partners will be personally exposed, and someone else can get to the money that the firm’s partners are waiting to get back to, after their short stint in Federal Prison. I am sure that the atty who takes their case will support his position that there is no honor among thieves.
