The Gambling Attorney

Richard C. Hannan, who pleaded no contest to stealing more than $150,000 from a 99-year-old client, one of more than a dozen embezzlements of which he is suspected, was an excellent customer at Mohegan Sun.

Casino officials told police that Hannan lost a total of $874,848 between June 2001 and June 2007 and, over the last year and a half, lost more than an average of $18,000 a month.

Over the 72-month period, he lost money every month except one.

Seems everyone overlooked the important part of the story: a lawyer, who swore to uphold the law, STOLE from a client! Each of us gambles every day when we retain a lawyer, without knowing anything about them because the state agencies dealing with lawyer misconduct COVER UP AS MUCH AS THEY CAN!
