Nicole Rokita, the ex-fiancee of former CFO Christopher Kamon, testified that he planned to flee to the Bahamas due to fears of being implicated in the embezzlement of Girardi Keese. She stated, 'He basically told me he was going to flee the country because he was afraid ... he was going to be pinned for Girardi Keese.' This revealed a desperate attempt to escape responsibility for the financial troubles surrounding the firm.
Rokita revealed Kamon’s extravagant spending habits that raised red flags. She noted, 'He had given me a monthly allowance of $20,000, had renovated our home, and had begun to build a restaurant for me to operate.' This extravagant lifestyle was funded largely by questionable means, linked to the financial misconduct at Girardi Keese.
Kamon was involved in multiple side businesses, one notably providing 'portable stripper pole rental services.' This detail highlights not only his questionable financial practices but also a lifestyle that was far removed from conventional behavior expected of a CFO at a reputable law firm.
The article underscores the dramatic fall from grace of Girardi, once celebrated for his legal prowess as part of the Erin Brockovich case, now facing serious legal troubles alongside his former CFO. The unraveling of Girardi's once-thriving practice provides a cautionary tale about financial misconduct and the dire consequences of unethical behavior in the legal profession.
