We’re Sorry for Missing the Playmate in the Story

We were too focused on the BigLaw angle in the recent post about the Paul Hastings tax lawyer caught up in insider trading.

We missed the Playboy Playmate.

It won’t happen again.

Maria Checa, Playboy’s Miss August of 1994, was one of the “relief defendants” in the case. She is identified as a 38-year old model/actress currently resident in Greensboro, NC.

The connection and more (reasonably) SFW pics after the jump.

Checa was dating (or was the object of a crush from) Jamil Bouchareb, one of the indicted defendants who was a close friend of Matt Devlin.  Checa traded through an aptly named LLC she set up: Playmate Capital and took an unspecified share of Bouchareb’s profits, which were close to a million dollars.mariacheca

Checa starred in several Playboy films, including Lusty Latin Ladies (pictured), Hot Latin Ladies, Wet & Wild: Bottoms Up, and Sexy Lingerie VI, Dreams and Desires.  Her sole mainstream credit is “From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money,” with which Robert Rodriguez seems (thankfully) to have had nothing to do.
