Los Angeles jeweler pleads guilty in KPMG case
The owner of a Los Angeles jewelry store pleaded guilty Monday for his role in an insider-trading case involving a former senior partner at accounting firm KPMG.
Bryan Shaw, 52, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and was scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 16 when he faces a maximum of five years in prison.
"In this guilty plea, Mr. Shaw continued his path to fully accepting responsibility for his actions and doing the right thing," said Shaw's attorney Nathan Hochman.
Authorities said Shaw made more than $1 million in illicit profits by trading in advance of company announcements on earnings results or mergers for KPMG LLC clients, including Herbalife Lt., Skechers USA Inc. and Uggs maker Deckers Outdoor Corp.
In exchange, Shaw gave former KPMG accountant Scott London bags filled with cash, along with a $12,000 Rolex watch and jewelry for his wife, among other items, prosecutors said. The Securities and Exchange Commission, which filed civil charges in the case, estimates London received at least $50,000.

Doctor to plead guilty in CA prescription case
A Southern California doctor has agreed to plead guilty to charges of illegally prescribing drugs to his patients at nightly meetings in Starbucks stores.
Court documents show 44-year-old Alvin Mingczech Yee entered into a plea agreement earlier this week. He is expected to plead guilty to seven counts at a April 17 hearing.
Prosecutors say Yee saw up to a dozen patients nightly at Starbucks coffee stores across suburban Orange County at meetings that cost up to $600. Prosecutors say Yee barely examined them but prescribed drugs including OxyContin and Vicodin.

Judge: Sexual assault suspect insane, not guilty
A Stamford man whose tongue was partially bitten off as he tried to rape a woman has been found not guilty by a Connecticut judge ruling he was insane at the time of the assault.
The Stamford Advocate reports that Superior Court Judge Richard Comerford said prosecutors proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the 48-year-old Gerard Landon sexually assaulted a woman at a church in June 2011.
He says Landon has psychiatric problems dating to 1988 and has been diagnosed with Schizophreniform disorder.
Landon's lawyer, public defender Howard Ehring, said Comerford made the right decision.
A Stamford psychiatrist testified that Landon had not been taking anti-psychotic medications.
Comerford said Landon, who is jailed, must be confined by the state commissioner of mental health for further evaluation.

Jordan court postpones verdict of ex-spy chief
A Jordanian criminal court says it has postponed a verdict in the case of a powerful former intelligence chief on trial for alleged embezzlement of public funds, money laundering and abuse of office.
Presiding judge Nashaat Akhras told Mohammed al-Dahabi in court Sunday that his verdict will be pronounced Nov. 11, without giving a reason.
Al-Dahabi ran the General Intelligence Department between 2005 and 2008.
He faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted.
He was arrested in February, when inspectors from the Central Bank of Jordan suspected transactions worth millions of dollars had gone through his bank account.
The rare case against such a high profile official is meant to show Jordan's seriousness in efforts to tackle graft and corruption — a demand voiced in recent street protests.

Price Waicukauski & Riley, LLC, has a successful history of litigating against national banks, trust companies, and bank fiduciaries for abuses of trust beneficiaries and breach of fiduciary duty. We also have experience in suing banks that discriminate in lending or impose improper charges.

If you have suffered discrimination, illegal lending practices, or improper charges, we are here to assist you receiving the compensation you deserve.
What Constitutes a Trustee-Beneficiary Relationship?
A trustee-beneficiary relationship is created by the language of a will or a trust agreement. The basic principle is that the will or trust document assigns the trustee the responsibility to manage the property of another for the benefit of the beneficiaries, as identified in the will or trust document.
Most importantly, the law imposes upon the trustee a fiduciary relationship, which means the trustee must act solely in the best interests of the beneficiary and not in the trustee's own interests, and must be completely truthful in communications with the beneficiaries. Trustees are customarily corporate trustees, such as banks or trust companies.
Trustees also have the duty to prudently invest the trust property in order to maximize the beneficiaries' interests in that property. When the trustee fails in this duty to prudently invest, or in some other manner breaches its fiduciary duties to the beneficiaries, the trustee breach and banking litigation attorneys at Price Waicukauski & Riley, LLC, in Indianapolis, Indiana, are there to prosecute these claims, seeking favorable results for our clients. We have been successful in several claims against trustees in the past for a variety of trust violations
