(Fake) Lawyer of the Day: Random Dude Neither A Lawyer Nor A Judge
Don’t forget that this coming Tuesday is primary day in New York City. In New York county (“Manhattan” for the uninitiated) the race is to replace Robert M. Morgenthau, the venerable Manhattan district attorney. There are three people running to be the new district attorney for the borough.
But just because Morgenthau is on his way out, it doesn’t mean that he has stopped doing his job. He is still busy, keeping us safe from lawyers that aren’t really lawyers but like to say they are lawyers.
Elizabeth Wurtzel is still safe. But that’s because she’s not been defrauding immigrants. The New York Times reports Robert P. Mangieri cannot say the same:
It turns out that Mr. Mangieri is not a lawyer and, according to Manhattan prosecutors, any fee he received was more than his services were worth.Mr. Mangieri, 68, has been indicted on charges that he pretended to be an immigration lawyer and bilked more than $1,000 from at least one immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago, Robert M. Morgenthau, the Manhattan district attorney, announced on Wednesday.
Mangieri is not a Mangenius.
Tough news cycle for Trinidad and Toboggans. First their football team loses a game to the U.S. that they could have won, and now this.

How does one "loose" a game? Do games yearn to be free? If they truly love you, will they come back?
looses?
This is totally racist, but I pictured the victim as drinking Malibu rum while waiting for his bambiclot lawya to call ON HIS MOBILE FONE
let's be honest here: the dude's up $1,300. way better than going to law school.
did you really just spell "loses" incorrectly? That's not a typo folks, that there's a retard.
Suck my ass, Mystal, you fucking walrus.
This happens all the time in immigration court. This isn't big news.
5, racism-fail. Bombaclatch is a Jamaican expression, not Trinidadian. Even Ali G knows that. And Malibu is from Barbados. Its like making a joke about imagining a Scotsman drinking a Guiness.
A Scotsman drinking Guinness? That's as absurd as a Latham partner bringing in business.
love his smile
This is totally racist, but I read 10's comment in the voice of Ras Trent
Why always discredited lawyers? What about achievements? Where's the applause for James Gorman, Morgan Stanley's new CEO designate -- a lawyer, mind you.
This post was so poorly written that it gave me a headache.

Never Forget
Rude boi bumbaclot, mon.
14 - I thought you said you didn't want discredit lawyer info. Gorman running Stanley is hardly positive news for either the legal or the financial community.
Morgy is the only Democrat that PE ever supported for office.
2 - keep it up man, that makes one of us
boobaclot

Fuck you, Alan Alda!
Cruel Runnings, mon
I thought Jack McCoy was the DA.
tobagonians not toboggans.

lol
2 - That date means nothing.
seriously what happened on feb 27th?
A Latham partner is just a guy who couldn't get a deal with any other firm in the V20. That's why Latham partners don't bring in work.
Is it just me or does this guy look like Darth Sidious?
Does he have to kick up to Tony and Pauli for what he earns?
Although there is no doubt news that it bad for toboggan manufacturers, like global warming, I fail to see why this news about a fake lawyer has any effect on them (or their capitalized colleagues).

Vote for Richard Aborn on Tuesday, September 15th!
YOU LIE!!
wow! must be a really slow news day!
24 ftw
Also: T&T was never going to win that match in Port of Spain; they almost never beat the United States and they were completely devoid of passion and creativity. Still, they were a bit unlucky not to hold out for a scoreless draw. Should have taken it to the corner flag early!
Cy Vance FTW
31, I resent your racist comment.
