The upending of a Camelot knight: the Los Angeles lawyer became embroiled in a Japanese bond racket
Article Abstract:
Former assistant US attorney general Norbert A Schlei was convicted on Jan 5, 1995, of felony securities fraud in a remarkable end to an often brilliant career. Schlei graduated first in his class from Yale Law School and served in the administrations of presidents Kennedy and Johnson. He opened the Los Angeles office of Hughes Hubbard & Reed, but proved a poor businessman and practice manager. Federal prosecutors charged him with conspiracy and securities fraud in a bizarre case involving Japanese bonds of disputed authenticity.
