Lerach's Latest Lockup
Schadenfreude Alert: Convicted felon Bill Lerach's generous ways -- some would say unethical behavior -- in a federal prison camp have landed him in a higher-security lockup.
According to the Bureau of Prisons, on September 9, the flamboyant plaintiff's lawyer was transferred from a low-security prison camp in Lompoc, California, to a medium-security prison in Phoenix, Arizona.
As previously reported on Portfolio.com, Lerach got into trouble for offering a prison guard the use of his season tickets for the San Diego Chargers, in violation of prison policy.
He had spent time in lockdown at Lompoc pending an administrative review. The bureau does not comment on disciplinary matters, and a call to Lerach's attorney was not immediately returned.
