Attorney Ronald Richards — who previously worked on the bankruptcy — told Radar following the ruling in court, “The decision to award the earrings to the estate was a justifiable one. Erika’s fantastical belief that she could keep the proceeds of an embezzlement of the client trust account was disturbing and should never have been argued.”
“She has no compassion and one day soon her attorney and her will know that just because you claim willful blindness, doesn’t mean you get to keep stolen property,” he added. “She will be liable for all the funds paid on her behalf and all the gifts provided with the stolen client funds.”
