A disbarred Cincinnati attorney, Richard Louis Crosby III, 37, of Mason, Ohio, admitted in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio this week that he used false identities to obtain employment with at least seven law firms as part of his guilty plea. Crosby pleaded guilty to three counts of Social Security number fraud on Tuesday, admitting to using identifying information belonging to his elderly father, his girlfriend, a deceased man, and others.
At various times throughout his scheme, Crosby falsely represented himself to gain employment at law firms across the country, even falsely claiming to at least one firm that he was a University of Michigan football player and an ex-Marine.
