- FraudStambler represented an Italian financier charged with defrauding investors of $1.2 billion in Hollywood deals, among them the purchase of MGM through Canon-Pathe. Stambler devised a plea agreement in which his client pleaded guilty to conspiracy, two counts of securities fraud, and two counts of filing false reports with the SEC. He was sentenced to 41 months in an Italian prison, fined $100,000 and banned from entering the United States for 10 years. This client is now living in Italy and has yet to serve the sentence. His potential exposure without the plea agreement could have resulted in a 25-year sentence and a fine totaling millions of dollars.

The network, which stretched from Los Angeles to New York, was uncovered after a three-year investigation and involving the DEA, the FBI, the IRS and U.S. Customs.
