The former attorney, 85 — who was disbarred in July 2022 — was charged with wire fraud the following February.
Tom Girardi has been found guilty of embezzling more than $15 million from his now-defunct law firm Girardi & Keese’s clients.
During the weeks-long trial, prosecutors told the jury that the once-revered lawyer ran a Ponzi scheme by misappropriating millions of dollars of his clients’ settlements. His federal public defenders, however, insisted the firm’s chief financial officer and Girardi’s co-defendant, Chris Kamon, was to blame for the missing and misappropriated money.
Girardi — who insisted that he “didn’t intentionally ever tell anyone the wrong thing” — also repeated several times during his testimony that he never gave himself a salary.
