Parrinello confirms stereotype

For­mer may­oral can­di­date and loud­mouth jerk­face John Par­rinello con­firmed that old stereo­type of lawyers as money-grubbbing scum­bags by threat­en­ing to aban­don his client if the gov­ern­ment didn’t give him some of the bail money as pay­ment. The client is Charles Schwab (not the famous one), the for­mer Greece ass­esor who swin­dled mil­lions from Greece and Kodak. Because of the nature of the crime, the fed­eral pros­e­cu­tor con­tends that the money is tainted and should instead be for­feited to the gov­ern­ment. Par­rinello, true to form, refuses to rep­re­sent Schwab for the court-appointed lawyer rate of $75/hour and claims he “wouldn’t even … go out and shovel snow for $75 an hour.”
