Marc Dreier: World’s Most Amazing Lawyer/Liar

Bloomberg has a story about the sheer chutzpah that disgraced lawyer Marc Dreier used to scam investors and charities out of $380 million.

My favorite part describes how Dreier convinced officials that other firms backed his scam deals:

As the U.S. Attorneys Office in Manhattan tells it, [Dreier] would lie his way into an accounting firm’s or real estate developer’s offices as if he had business there.

He then would use their conference rooms for meetings with hedge-fund officials to make it seem the accountants or developers were in on the deal, according to the feds.

Now that takes some brass ones.

Read the story.
