Helfrey's voice rises as he discusses Lazaroff's legal saga. He steals money from his clients. He steals money from his partners. He lies to everybody. And all of a sudden he's the victim.
Station says it's the victim here, and, on one score at least, no one can dispute that.
He charged Station for bogus expenses such as photocopying that was never done and long-distance phone calls that were never made and used the money for meals, concert tickets and other gifts he showered on clients. He did the same thing to the President and several other clients, all of whom were reimbursed by Thompson Coburn after internal auditors discovered the billing irregularities. Station was the biggest fish. The phony legal bills were the basis of one of three felonies to which Lazaroff pleaded guilty last June. Lazaroff has also pleaded guilty to causing false reports to be filed with the Federal Election Commission.
