A civil lawsuit filed by the real beneficiaries claims that a Florida lawyer stole $1.8 million from a client's trust account and gambled it away at the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa.
He claimed to see these transactions as short-term loans that he would repay with interest. According to the letter submitted to the court, he "hit rock bottom" and realized he would lose his legal license and go to jail after realizing he would not be able to pay back the money.
