Jay Ira Gordon, formerly head of Greenberg Traurig‘s tax practice, pled guilty to taking $1.2 million in kickbacks on illegal tax shelters. In exchange for testifying against John Ohle, the alleged ringleader. This was all part of the same shelter scam that brought down Jenkins & Gilchrist.
Doesn’t that just seem quaint, compared to recent news? Gordon does have one thing in common with the big boys. He and Dreier have the same lawyer: Gerald Shargel (Rutgers ’66, Brooklyn JD ’69). By the way, Gerry, that’s a great quote from the New Yorker that’s on your splash page and on your bio, but if you’re going back to 1994 it looks a little Sally Fields-esque.
