The federal government is currently investigating four senior lawyers who were formerly employed at the now-bankrupt Girardi Keese firm. This revelation came to light via testimony from IRS Special Agent Ryan Roberson on Monday, just before federal prosecutors rested their case against Thomas V. Girardi.
According to Roberson, the lawyers under scrutiny are Robert Finnerty, Christopher Aumais, Keith Griffin, and Girardi’s son-in-law David Lira. These individuals have each received target letters from the federal government, indicating potential charges. Roberson did not specify the timing of these letters. This development comes as prosecutors concluded their case after nearly two weeks of testimony in the US District Court for the Central District of California.
As the case progresses, the implications for Girardi and his former colleagues at Girardi Keese continue to unfold. For further updates, refer to the original coverage here.
