Dewey LeBoeuf Wreckage

Dewey LeBoeuf – oh the arrogance of the powerful. Power corrupts. If the allegations are true of course. The allegations are simply that the leaders of this oh so powerful law firm, where the key partners made millions, for cooking the books to get money from banks and others. Too many lawyers succumb to the temptation of playing games. Lawyers are trusted with the money of their clients, they are trusted with the cases that their clients need pursued, when they cause damage they should be brought to justice.

When the leaders in a company by fraud damage the company, they damage the other owners. We see this in the press all the time, with big corporations being mismanaged by the leadership team. The other owners here are the innocent partners in the law firm. I am left to wonder if some of the other partners in the firm who may not have known about the cooking of the books will now sue the guilty, again assuming the allegations are true. They should, they too were damaged.
