Wondering if COVID caused a big dent in the law firm's practice. New cases not coming in and cases on hold. Did that cause money problems? JMO.

My family has a law firm. (I have a different profession but I did work there in college). Because it is not huge, there is an accountant/bookkeeper that does monthly employee payroll and keeps up with expenses. But both my father and sister have access to all funds. My father, head of the firm, accounts for the trust accounts every month. He would be the only one that could get away with stealing from the trust.
On another note. Oxy can cause great debt, and significant family, and life problems. It’s hard to believe it cost him millions. Maybe there is also gambling? Maybe his wife knew of what she saw as a problem and poor money management and demanded the properties in her name in 2018. I don’t think she knew of the theft then.
I have served on committees as the non attorney member for the lawyer disciplinary board in my state. I was astounded at what lawyers let each other get away with. When it comes to stealing from each other, all bets are off.

I already checked and didn't see anything. Can you please link what you found?
Yeah, I'm not buying the millions of dollars drug habit. He'd be dead if he consumed that much in drugs. I'm thinking gambling or blackmail.
Larger companies sometimes require that employees take mandatory vacation. Part of the reason is that if someone is doing anything shady, they may be able to hide it if they’re there every day, but if they’re gone for 2 weeks, their coworkers will figure it out as they cover the work. Depending on how the firm is set up, any embezzling could have been going on for a long time. With the recent family tragedy, AM may have taken more leave than usual and something could have been uncovered.
Most funds are held in a Trust account. There is a lot more to this story. IMO

.....has to be the trust accounts to have made contact with the State Bar.
RBBM.
There’s no way those life insurance policies have paid out yet (Paul and Maggie).
That would be incredibly unusual. I can’t tell you how many murder cases I’ve followed where money has been withheld when the beneficiary may also be a suspect.Snipped for focus
I disagree. An insurance company is not going to withhold payment for what? A pending investigation? I get this has made world news but that's not their business.
An entirely different team would be heading up fraud or any investigation.
They will pay in compliance and it's not based off of whether SLED thinks there may or may not be something strange going on

Even if someone is found not guilty at trial, the insurance company can refuse to pay, and battle it out in civil court.
Unless there’s been some policy change recently, I imagine that still occurs.
I must’ve missed something. What is it that we “know now about the opiate addiction”? Could you please provide an msm or LE link? TiaKnowing now about the opiate addiction, I wonder if Saturday’s injury was welcomed as a means to obtain pain meds at the hospital.
