Fortune Magazine on the Flamboyant Fall of the Milberg Weiss Firm

The Nov. 13 Fortune Magazine is reporting in splashy detail the fascinating story of extravagant greed, deception, and conflicts (of interest and personal) permeating the class action churn-firm Milberg Weiss.  This includes the unusual detail of a fake-stolen Picasso in California, connected oddly to a domestic violence charge in Cleveland, which handed the feds an inside witness to the firm’s sins:  its star named plaintiff.  The article is called “The fall of America’s meanest law firm,” and is reported by Peter Elkind.  Here is a link to the on-line version through CNNmoney.com.  As the story unfolds in this article, you can be reminded yet again that truth is stranger than fiction.  [Alan Childress]
