La Cage aux Folles

Behold the absurdly bold and reckless crime spree of Marc Dreier, Esquire.  Read the sealed complaint against Marc Dreier, whose firm acquired Paul J. Traub's Delaware bankruptcy monstrosity.

Impersonating the CEO of a real estate developer in order to sell fictitious notes with forged signatures to some hedge funds. Who could have such Chutzpah?

Imagine, if you will, that you were a lawyer with "connections".

A lawyer who had "relations" with various government lawyers. Imagine a world of neo-mafia BigLaw firms with partners and associates infiltrating the revolving door fascade of justice in the U.S.

Imagine that your cousins in organized crime held various positions of power in the U.S. Department of Justice, and in various State offices of Attorney General.

Then you could get away with the financial equivalent of murder. In fact, Marc Dreier and his partners routinely got away with all sorts of conduct for years. A crime family orchestrated longitudinal corruption of the "Justice System" in the U.S. has hijacked prosecutorial discretion for the evil benefit of blood and money relations.
