'Paul Simon Will Not Have To Pay Man Who Ripped Him Off
It has been announced that Paul Simon will not have to pay lawyer and money manger Kenneth I. Starr, who victimized the singer in a $60 million Ponzi scheme. The singer dodged a $17,174.49 tab, plus interest and lawyer’s fees, after court papers indicated that charges were dropped against Simon. The whole thing started when Starr was arrested and indicted on 23 counts of fraud and money laundering in 2013 after signs that his dealings with celebrity clients may not have been legitimate. Starr was convicted and sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison but, just before the sentence was passed, he declared bankruptcy, making it impossible for him to pay back any of his clients. A trustee in charge of his finances uncovered some unpaid bill for services provided to Simon, giving his creditors a chance to recoup their stolen money. But Simon was one of the victims of Starr’s scheme, which included other A-list celebrities such as Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman, Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes and Martin Scorsese.
