Actually, Weisberg was indicted for the first time in 1991. He was acquitted, although others involved did long stretches in prison. Despite this indictment, Baker & McKenzie saw fit to hire him. Under their watch he committed the crime referenced here and was again indicted again for a crime under their employ in May 2008. He's likely a key conspirator in the IEAM fraud. Seems like a good candidate for inclusion in a larger RICO case. Baker's hiring of a previously indicted attorney and then letting him commit more crimes under their watch likely opens them up to significant liability.
In his most recent cases, which are both over two years old, Weisberg has neither gone to trial nor yet entered a plea. Makes one wonder whether he's working with the Feds under a cooperation agreement that could turn up larger frauds and targets.
