Lawyer Found Guilty of Defrauding Virginia Legislator, Autism Group
An attorney and former police officer was found guilty Friday in a Virginia federal court of defrauding his former employer, an autism education organization and the campaign of a Virginia Democratic political leader, reports The Washington Post.
“David Miller, 70, conspired with his wife to embezzle more than $1.5 million by creating fake law firms that siphoned funds from then-Senate Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw (D-Fairfax), SkyLink Aviation, and the Community College Consortium on Autism and Intellectual Disabilities,” according to the Post‘s Rachel Weiner. “Linda Wallis Miller, who had served as Saslaw’s campaign treasurer, pleaded guilty to the three fraud schemes in 2015 and was sentenced to 56 months in prison. David Miller faces up to 20 years in prison on each of the 10 counts of conviction when he is sentenced Jan. 24.”
