Starr's lawyer charged with money laundering Reuters: "Lawyer Jonathan Star Bristol allegedly used attorney escrow accounts to launder more than $20 million that Starr took from advisory clients, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York said in a 15-page indictment charging Bristol with one count of money laundering.
Bristol 'repeatedly used the escrow accounts to help Kenneth Starr conceal that he was stealing client monies to fund the operating expenses of Starr & Company LLC,' prosecutors alleged in the indictment.
Starr, whose celebrity clients included director Martin Scorsese and singer Carly Simon, pleaded guilty in September to wire fraud, money laundering and investment adviser fraud in Manhattan federal court.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's court filing describes Bristol, age 55, as a resident of Chatham, New Jersey, who from November 2008 through June 2010 was a partner with a prominent international law firm. Neither the SEC complaint nor the indictment identifies the law firm."
