This is from one of the legal e-mails that I get every morning http://generalcounselnews.com/founder-of-tea-party-nation-has-been-disbarred-for-trying-to-scam-timeshare-owners/
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the founder of Tea Party Nation has been disbarred for trying to swindle timeshare owners into thinking they canceled their timeshares.
Tennessee attorney Judson Wheeler Phillips, a senior partner with Nashville-based Castle Law Group and founding member of the conservative Tea Party group, was accused of taking off with the money he earned from the fraudulent transactions, the Tennessee Supreme Court has ruled.
Federal lawsuits were filed against Phillips by Westgate Resorts and Orange Lake Resorts, both based in Orlando, as well as Las Vegas-based Diamond Resorts and Fort Lauderdale-based Berkley Resorts. More than 90 consumer fraud complaints also were filed.

(82,849 posts)6. A high-powered scam artist of a disbarred attorney? Weird!
Here I was all persuaded by the media coverage of the Tea Baggers that they were all just reg'lar folks who knew only that taxes were too gosh-darned high, and who had no voice, platform, or program for being noticed. Who could have imagined that the fella behind the curtain would be some high-powered attorney disbarred for defrauding people? Besides the dirty fucking hippies, I mean.
