Lawyer Steals Funds Intended to Pay IRS Tax Debt

The client wired $15 million to an attorney trust account to resolve her tax liability. Freeman used it to pay the IRS $8.4 million on the woman’s behalf. The money covered her tax liability but not penalties and interest, which were eventually written off by the IRS.

Freeman allegedly told the woman he sent about $6.5 million to the IRS to pay the woman’s penalties and interest, but he actually wired the money to his own Swiss bank account, the indictment says.

It started out with comments attorney Timothy Scott made on the record to opposing counsel.

Scott is a partner at the firm; he graduated from Stanford Law.

Until very recently, I had a weekly Tuesday meeting with consultants for a project, with occasional meetings on other days. I know for a fact I said "See you next Tuesday" on multiple occasions.
