Morning Docket 11.20.08
* California’s Supreme Court agreed to hear the case against Prop. 8. [Reuters]
* For all the associates who go crazy working late into the night in dark conference rooms dreaming of embezzling money from the firm—let this be a lesson to you. Employee Angela Marie Dees was arrested for stealing 1.67 million dollars from the California law firm Moore and Waxler. The crazy thing? The firm didn’t even notice until they did an audit. [mysuncoast.com]
* “Stung by outsize investment losses, some of the nation’s biggest companies are pushing Congress to roll back rules requiring them to put more money into their pension funds, just two years after President Bush signed a law meant to strengthen the pension system.” [NYT]
* A jury heard opening statements yesterday in the MySpace hoax case, the one where the suburban mother used a fake alias to terrorize a 13-year-old who killed herself as a result. [ABC]
* Even though bankers basically caused a world-wide recession causing thousands of lawyers to lose their jobs (thanks a lot), at least Barclay’s is giving the litigators some love. Barclay’s is suing a hedge fund for hiding $150 million in investments. [Bloomberg]
* Yesterday was National Toilet Day. Everybody who works on Wall Street already knew that. [UPI]

Why is there no profile or photo of Eliza Gray? Please correct immediately.

GULC celebrated Toilet Day by embracing their status as the best TTT in DC.
thumbs up their asses
love the pic. Red dress' expression needs no words.
Moore and Waxler is in Punta Gorda. Which is in Florida. Which is different than California.
Is this blog's inability to regurgitate accurate information the reason WSJ gets all the best scoop interviews?
MAKE THE FIRST LINK RELEVANT TO THE PICTURE PLZ, TYIA
Re the embezzling employee, the best law firm embezzlement story I know of was the Skadden DC secretary who was entrusted by the partner she worked for to manage not only his professional billing but also a good chunk of his personal bills, bank accounts and credit cards. She slowly but surely pilfered well over a million dollars from the partner because he let her run his books for him. I think she landed at another DC firm (Hogan? Maybe Shaw Pittman?) where her lavish lifestyle was the envy of all the sceretaries -- until she didn't show up one day because she had been indicted. She had also been trying to hawk on eBay all the designer crap she bought during her embezzling days, probably because she knew the gig was up and she would probably have to make restitution.
Eliza has a huge bush...I've sampled.
I bet that zebra makes Mystal hungry.
Who are the lawyers in the Barclays lawsuit? Otherwise, good post Eliza, but that's something that should be included.

Mommy sick on the funny juice again. Why mommy, why?
Elie,
You are a fucking mental midget! Did you not see the picture of the state of Florida at the top of the page. The aggregation of errors that you have made on this site are further evidence of the failure of affirmative action.

That's nasty racist shit. Keep it to yourself. (It's also evidence that you're not as well-educated as Elie. You wouldn't have even thought that, if you were, but I digress...).
Wish I knew where you worked, so I could come by and piss in your coffee.

PS You should probably proofread your posts before you accuse anyone of being stupid. It should correctly read: "The aggregation of errors...IS." "Are" is not proper here.
