Tom Girardi used client money to fund his wife's entertainment career, prosecutors say

Six weeks before Tom Girardi's criminal trial in Los Angeles is scheduled to begin, federal prosecutors revealed that they intend to introduce key evidence: that the disgraced former attorney allegedly spent more than $25 million of client and law firm money on the career of his reality TV star wife. Until now, Erika Girardi — a mainstay of Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' — has rarely been mentioned in her estranged husband's federal prosecution.

Girardi's legal team plans to cite the alleged 'side fraud' by the CFO as a cause for large deficits in Girardi Keese's accounts. Further, they plan to argue that Girardi was liquidating his personal assets and putting those funds back into the firm for payroll and expenses to offset money depleted by Kamon's alleged scheme.
