					<description><![CDATA[Well, all I can say is if he is found guilty, which doesn&#039;t sound like a long shot, then punish him to the extent of the law. I&#039;m tired of seeing slick scandals with little consequence. I am saddened that the Dreier name is now tarnished. I don&#039;t know that I have any blood in the Marc Dreier line but don&#039;t like the association now ... as seen here: http://mrcritical.com/shame-to-the-dreier-name/
I feel sad for the people that are and will be effected by the waves/ripples ... his victims, his employees, his family ...

					<description><![CDATA[Why is this identified as a &quot;plaintiff&#039;s&quot; firm? According to the firm&#039;s website:

&lt;i&gt;The firm’s principal practice areas are commercial litigation, real estate, bankruptcy and corporate reorganization, employment law, corporate and securities, entertainment, sports law, intellectual property, including patent, trademark and copyright law, matrimonial law and tax.&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is very close to the swindle Clay Davis ran on Stringer Bell in season three of The Wire. 

Clay had Stringer meet the &quot;commissioner&quot; who, if paid, would expedite important building permits and federal grants, in the lobby of the federal building (outside the metal detectors).  It took attorney Maury Levy about a minute to see through it and confirm Stringer had been &quot;rainmade&quot; (cash transactions, one-time meetings in the lobby instead of the office, admonitions to wait and be patient, etc.)

Stringer&#039;s plans to kill Levy were stopped short by Avon; hopefully Dreier will be less lucky when it comes to the investigation by the State Bar and the Mounties.]]></description>
