Law - Still more on the Kentucky Fen-Phen story
The ILB has had a number of entries on the Kentucky fen-phen scandal - see the list here.
Today Andrew Wolfson of the Louisville Courier Journal has a long story that begins:
The attorneys accused of misappropriating more than $64 million from Kentucky's fen-phen settlement initially withheld another $27.7 million, which they turned over to their clients only after the Kentucky Bar Association began investigating the case, newly filed court records show.The additional payments also came after one of the lawyers -- Melbourne Mills Jr. -- discovered in January 2002 that the settlement was for $50 million more than the other two lawyers, William Gallion and Shirley Cunningham Jr., had told him, according to the records.
