Settlement Money That Never Arrived

A well-known lawyer for injured people ran his firm for about ten years while client money went missing. Clients whose cases had settled were told the money had not come through, or that taxes, a bankruptcy, or a judge's permission were holding it up. None of that was true. Their money had already been spent on private jets, jewellery and clubs, and over twenty-five million dollars went to an entertainment company owned by a family member. Newer clients' funds were used to pay older ones.
