The final act plays out for 'The Harv.' (Harvey D. Myerson's sentencing on mail and tax fraud)
Article Abstract:
Harvey D. Myerson, former partner of the bankrupt Finley, Kumble, Wagner, Heine, Underberg, Manley, Myerson and Casey, was sentenced on Nov 13, 1992 to 70 months in federal prison for mail and tax fraud. Observers feel that colleagues closed their eyes to Myerson's wrongdoing for so long because he was an important rainmaker for the firm. One of Myerson's main defenses, that he was trying to shield assets from an ex-wife, was not given much credence by the judge.
