Hey, At Least They Spelled The Name Right.


You know what they say about getting your name in the press -- it's all good.

So by that measure I suppose this is a positive development:

In March, a federal jury in Richmond, Virginia convicted Okun of wire fraud, money laundering, smuggling, perjury and conspiracy, following a three-week trial.

Earlier this month, a federal judge sentenced the Miami businessman to 100 years in prison and to forfeit $40 million.

According to the filing, some of Okun's former lawyers have also agreed to make payments to the tax firm's estate to resolve possible claims.

Kluger, Peretz, Kaplan & Berlin PL will pay roughly $10.7 million, while Michael Rosen will pay $925,000, the filing shows.

Money shmoney, that's ok -- but no one touches the paintings!

BTW, check out the snazzy new KPKB website redesign.

Alan is going to have to liquidate hie Jewish artifact collection on the fly and jimminy quick. Leads one to believe that Kluger Perezt implosion was not necessarily client revenue related. Let's hope he's not subject to a target letter of a grand jury indictment. I hear they don't let you wear lifts in your cowboy boots in the hoosegow.
