Bernie Madoff Legal Scandal
Inside the Legal Maze of the Bernie Madoff Scandal & the Strategies to Uncover Madoff's Money Trail In this in-depth interview, Andrew Entwistle, Managing Partner of Entwistle & Cappucci LLP, examines all the avenues of the Bernard Madoff scandal. Joining Andrew to discuss this issue are Wall Street insider and author, Norb Vonnegut, and New York Daily News staff journalist Larry McShane. Entwistle & Cappucci LLP seeks to help investors recover funds invested through various Madoff "feeder funds" established and run by Tremont Group Holdings, Inc. and Tremont Partners, Inc. Tremont's alleged failures to conduct adequate due diligence of Madoff's investment operations constitute a potential breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract. Additionally, the complaint filed by Entwistle & Cappucci LLP asserts claims for unjust enrichment and aiding and abetting Tremont's fiduciary duty breaches against companies affiliated with Tremont, such as Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, MassMutual Holding Company, Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. Norb Vonnegut is a Wall Street insider, author and former wealth adviser who evaluated investment opportunities for clients. His many columns about the Madoff scandal educated readers about the enormity of Madoff's crimes and the fallout among investors. A graduate of Harvard College and the Harvard Business School, Norb is also the author of Top Producer, a story about Wall Street hi-jinks gone fatal. Larry McShane is an acclaimed reporter who has written extensively about the Madoff scandal, providing the public with breaking news and insightful analysis about Madoff's many criminal acts.

Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric Peoples’s Story
[b][i]Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric Peoples’s Story [/i][/b] Popcorn Lung Disease, or Popcorn Workers Lung, appears mostly among factory workers in microwave popcorn plants. The illness is thought to be caused by the inhaled vapors of the butter flavoring (Diacetyl) used in microwave popcorn. The most likely victims of this illness are workers who mix the paste or powder forms of Diacetyl with oil to prepare it for use in the popcorn packets. Popcorn Lung Disease occurs most frequently in regions where the manufacture of microwave popcorn is a big industry. There are many such hotspots throughout the United States. Because the law firm of Humphries, Farrington, McClain, P.C. represents people from every state, including Eric Peoples, they have probably represented someone from your city or county already. They are familiar with the principal manufacturers of microwave popcorn. They know about plants, the owners and managers, and the litigation history of each hotspot. And that’s why they have successfully tried the only jury trials in the country, with over $53 million dollars in jury verdicts and hundreds of settlements against the manufacturers, who protest that it was the employers responsibility to follow safety instructions. Today The Insider Exclusive presents “Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric Peoples’s Story” – and shows how the flavoring Industry used workers like Eric Peoples as “Blue Collar Guinea Pigs” for years. Eric played by the rules; he worked to support his family. And the unregulated microwave popcorn industry virtually destroyed his life. Kenneth B. McClain began his firm’s asbestos practice in 1984, when he represented the Independence, Missouri school district. It was the first case in the country to return a verdict for a school district to recover the cost of removing asbestos from a building. Since then, Ken has represented asbestos personal injury victims and owners of buildings contaminated by asbestos across the United States. On October 6, 1997, he settled the first individual tobacco tort action in New York for Janet Sackman, the Lucky Strike poster model. A 1982 graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, Ken is a nationally recognized trial lawyer specializing in toxic tort cases throughout the country. Humphrey, Farrington McClain, P.C. is a 16-attorney firm located in Independence, Missouri.

The Good Samaritan – Jimmy Dunne’s Story
The Good Samaritan – Jimmy Dunne’s Story On March 13, 2004, at 4:30 PM, Jimmy Dunne, a Vietnam Veteran, retired railroad conductor and American Legion Commander, and his wife were returning from a birthday party, when they witnessed and stopped to help the victims of a three-car crash in the small town of Port Jefferson Station, New York. Jimmy offered help because he was a Good Samaritan, and he knew CPR. While Jimmy gave his statement to police officers, a brand new Subaru driven by Lisa Lloyd crashed into the police barricades and slammed into Jimmy. Lisa kept going, with Jimmy’s head smashed into the windshield, until the fire chief ran alongside her car, dove through the window and threw the car into park. Jimmy was catapulted 30 feet into the air, landing on his head and changing his life forever in that split moment. Jimmy’s head was fractured in two places, and he suffered a brain hemorrhage. He plunged into a coma for a month and required brain surgery to treat his injuries. He now requires round-the-clock nursing care due to his injuries. Lisa Lloyd later pleaded guilty to second-degree assault while driving a car while impaired by drugs. Today, the Insider Exclusive will show you Jimmy Dunne’s truly courageous struggle to recovery; and how Stephen Murphy, former top homicide prosecutor for the Brooklyn DA’s office, and Daniel O’Toole, partners at the law firm of Block O’Toole & Murphy got Jimmy justice with a record judgment of $32.7 million, the largest non-medical malpractice personal injury award in Long Island history. Stephen Murphy is a lifetime New Yorker with Irish roots. He comes from a family of firefighters, police officers, prosecutors and teachers. Both of his grandfathers were members of the Fire Department. His grandfather, Stephen J. Murphy, served the City of New York as Interim Fire Commissioner. His maternal grandfather, Walter Matthews, reached the rank of Assistant Chief of Department. ?Stephen joined the firm Block & O'Toole in early 2005 after a successful and rewarding career as a homicide prosecutor. He handles a wide range of cases including labor law and construction accidents, wrongful death, premises liability, trucking collisions, medical malpractice and motor vehicle cases. Stephen began his legal career working as an Assistant District Attorney under Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes. He honed his skills in the criminal courtrooms in Brooklyn, prosecuting persons accused of violent crimes. In early July 2003, Stephen traveled to Sarajevo on behalf of the United States Justice Department to assist in the implementation of a new justice system in post-war Bosnia & Hercegovina. Stephen is also an adjunct professor of law at the St. John's University School of law. He teaches trial advocacy and lectures on criminal and civil trial practice and evidence. Daniel O’Toole is one of New York's premier catastrophic injury trial attorneys, having graduated from the Fordham University School of Law in 1992. During the course of his career he has obtained in excess of $150,000,000.00 worth of settlements and verdicts, all by the age of 40. He is also the Vice-Chairman of the Labor Law Committee for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association.

Truck Death – The James Garrett Story
[b][i]Truck Death – The James Garrett Story[/i][/b] On June 1, 2006, Beverly Garrett, 57, Beulah Hunter, 94, Elois Jeans, 81, and Anita Gibbs, 55, were driving in a Ford 500, on Interstate 70 in Callaway County, Missouri, to a 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration in Illinois. The traffic was stopped for the clearing of an earlier traffic accident that day, approximately 30 miles east of Columbia, Missouri. The Missouri Department of Transportation (DOT) had DANGER signs and a flagman posted everywhere, warning traffic of this major congestion. George Albright, driving a 70,000-pound tractor-trailer back to Tennessee, fell asleep at the wheel and did not see all the warning signs; slamming into this stopped line of cars, scattering them like bowling pins and instantly killing Beverly, Beulah, Elois and Anita. According to Albrights initial statements, he said he arrived in Columbia, Missouri, at approximately 6 AM, and had slept for 10 hours and 45 minutes before starting his trip back home. Albright, and his company officials adamantly denied that fatigue played any role in the wreck. Of course, a gaping hole remained in terms of an explanation. How could someone drive a 70,000-pound tractor-trailer into stopped traffic if he was not asleep at the wheel? Eye witnesses provided statements to the police indicating that they saw Albright nodding off at the wheel just a couple of miles prior to the crash site. Yet all of the defendants maintained Albright was bright eyed and bushytailed! Thanks to modern technology, Albrights cell phone records clearly showed that he was in St. Louis, Missouri, approximately three hours east of Columbia at 6:50 AM on the date of the wreck, and that Albright had falsified and lied in his log books. When confronted with his cell phone records, Albright admitted that he had lied and falsified his logs, and that he didn’t take the 10 hours of rest required by federal regulations. Additionally, in court it was discovered that approximately one third of Albrights logs were missing from the six months leading up to the date of the wreck. Obviously, nobody was monitoring this driver and, more importantly, no one was taking responsibility for his actions. Ken McClain and Danny Thomas, Partners at the law firm of Humphrey, Farrington McClain, P.C., represented the victims in this case. Ken and Danny use three criteria when analyzing catastrophic cases like this: 1. Is there liability? 2. Are there damages? 3. Is there a defendant with an ability to pay? All too often one of the pieces is missing. In this case liability and damages were obvious. This was a horrific wreck that took the lives of some wonderful human beings. However, early discovery responses revealed there was a barely any insurance to compensate all of the victims. Undeterred, Ken and Danny made a conscious decision that this wreck was too horrific and the negligence too gross to advise their clients to accept the paltry insurance proceeds But there was a real big problem: initially no one knew who the trucking company was at fault. The DOT number came back to a company called Pro Logistics of Warren, Michigan. The owner of the vehicle was a company called GLS Leasco, also of Warren, Michigan. More confusing, the vehicles registration came back to another entity called Logistics Services. Through the investigative research of Humphrey, Farrington McClain, P.C., all of these companies amazingly were headquartered out of the same building: 12225 Stephens Road. Additionally, it was also revealed that there were several other companies that had a role in the trucking operation: Logistics Insight and Central Transport, both of which were headquartered out of 12225 Stephens Road. Through extensive investigative work and over 60 Depositions, it was discovered that all of these companies were owned by a single holding company, Centra, Inc., and they all operated out of the same building at the time of the wreck. In fact, Centra owned approximately 50 subsidiary companies, most of which operated out of the same building. The corporate overlap among these companies was astonishing. It was a major corporate shell game designed to deceive the public into thinking they had no assets. Companies like GLS were true shell corporations. Though GLS officially owned thousands of tractor-trailers it did not have a single employee. Who the heck was running this multi-million dollar company? Today, the Insider Exclusive presents: Truck Death – The James Garrett Story. How Ken McClain and Danny Thomas of the law firm Humphrey, Farrington McClain, P.C., unraveled this corporate shell game and got justice for these innocent victims, reaching an $18 million settlement. And in so doing have earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike as one of the best plaintiffs’ trial lawyers in Missouri and in the nation. Kenneth B. McClain began his firm’s asbestos practice in 1984, when he represented the Independence, Missouri school district. It was the first case in the country to return a verdict for a school district to recover the cost of removing asbestos from a building. Since then, Ken has represented asbestos personal injury victims and owners of buildings contaminated by asbestos across the United States. On October 6, 1997, he settled the first individual tobacco tort action in New York for Janet Sackman, the Lucky Strike poster model. A 1982 graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, Ken is a nationally recognized trial lawyer specializing in toxic tort cases throughout the country. Danny Thomas dedicates his practice exclusively to representing victims of catastrophic injuries and wrongful death involving trucking accidents, motor vehicle accidents, product defects, nursing home litigation and medical malpractice. This tenacity comes from serving on active duty in an elite Military Police unit within the United States Marine Corps and being a member of a law firm that has successfully taken on virtually insurmountable odds and institutions in the area of toxic torts including tobacco and popcorn lung disease. Humphrey, Farrington McClain, P.C. is a 16-attorney firm located in Independence, Missouri. Our dedicated attorneys, paralegals and numerous support staff are experienced in handling asbestos bodily injury claims and building-contamination claim, as well as other tort and complex litigation matters involving toxic substances.
