She will probably go bankrupt. I don't know the corporate structure but borrowing is not taxable. If she used that borrowed money for expenses against other income then the IRS will get involved.

His ex wife ought to be riding on that conviction train too. There is no way she didn’t know where that money was coming from. No way! She loved high on the hod, then when it went to crap she screamed victim. My opinion, she’s just as guilty. Plus, I’m betting she hid money as an exit plan. I see she’s still living large.

Girardi is 85 years old. I would expect he had a lifetime of fraud. Not much time left to punish him. Seems he actually got away with it!

[@setamanaha4704]

Authorities are all patting themselves on the back but this has been going on for years. They should charge the employees of the State Bar of California who accepted gifts from Girardi and blocked hundreds of complaints against him. They enabled him to do this. He spent decades reaping the benefits of his crimes. Now he's 85 and has Alzheimer's. Soon he won't even remember all of the rotten things he did or be aware that he's being punished for his actions. He's probably not long for this world. Doesn't seem like justice to me.

[@pinkfoxycake]

For those who don't know the story about Tom, I can tell you that he was taking money from his clients for many many years. Way before he got sick. He was protected by people in high places so he could go on and doing this ish 2 innocent people. One of the reasons he did it was 2 found his luxury lavish lifestyle for himself and his wife Erika Jayne. She is def no innocent saint in that mess either. She has said herself that she helped out Tom at his office for many years and that Tom learned her so much about being a lawyer that she could be one herself. Her own words. And why hasen't she divorced him yet? She could have done that a long time ago and Erika is 2 smart 2 not have known imo. She is just acting like a innocent angel when she really is not. Word on the street is, and allegedly of course, is that Erika is still reciving money from Tom through his good friend Jim, who is Erikas lawyer now. Money that Tom gave 2 Jim, so he could keep on supporting Erika. Money from the victims that Tom stole. It's beyond awful. She has also keept designer clothes, designer bags, expensive art and jewelry for millions of dollars that was bought with the victims money. She still got it all, and she was quiet about Tom and what he did as long it benefitted her and her lifestyle. Tom also put in over 20 millons in her company wich she claims 2 know nothing about witch is bs. They are still in this together and she is getting away with it. That's why she hasen't divorced him. Erika also had the chance 2 give back a pair of expensive earrings that was def bought with the victims money but she chose 2 fight for them in court instead of helping the victim out. That's the real Erika, she has said herself on RHOBH that she only cares about herself, and that she does not give a ish about anybody else but herself, meaning she don't give a ish about Toms victims. As long she gets 2 keep eveything Tom bought 2 her with the victims money. So innocent? I think not. It's a big difference between pretending 2 be innocent and actually being innocent. Smdh
