Glenn William Gregory, a
former lawyer in Lakewood, was sentenced to four years in prison for
stealing $1.4 million from a trust fund account from his
stepgrandmother.
Gregory, who is 56, was a
trustee for the John B. Villano Trust, an account that was created by
his grandfather, John B. Villano, to provide for 89-year-old Martha
Violet Villano, the wife of John B. Villano and stepgrandmother of
Gregory. He had power of attorney for Martha, and between 2008 and 2016,
he transferred $1.4 million from the trust accounts to his personal
bank accounts and his law firm’s bank accounts, according to
prosecutors.
Gregory was already convicted and
sentenced to eight years in prison in August 2017 for stealing $1.3
million from another trust fund that was also created to provide for his
step grandmother. Between the two cases, he stole a total of $2.7
million.
Gregory used some of the money from
the John B. Villano Trust as gifts for family members. He also used the
funds for personal purchases like vacations, gambling and internet sex
services.

I'm glad he was caught and punished. I wish he would have to work the rest of his miserable life to pay restitution, though.
