got in trouble for tax problems, the police found cocaine too. Their lawyer was Mr. Roy Cohn.
On his bad advice they deepened their problems and lost everything, went to prison, when they could have just paid a fine. Cohn told them to lie, to trash their own place and say the police did it, and produce an alternate set of bookkeeping files to cover up their tax evasion. Cohn was not a very good lawyer, but he was vicious, so there's that.
