Jeffrey Siskind, a Florida attorney, has been disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court following allegations of stealing millions from investors, including a notorious imprisoned drug kingpin. The disbarment stems from a referee report filed by Broward County Judge John Hurley, detailing how Siskind, based in his Wellington firm, allegedly orchestrated a fraudulent scheme that caused financial losses exceeding $2 million to his clients, Christopher George and Frederick Volkwein.
The disbarment adds Siskind to the growing list of lawyers who have lost their careers to ethical misconduct. The original context and deeper insights into the case can be accessed in the Daily Business Review.
