Edelson: Girardi Keese Was 'A Tale Out of a John Grisham Novel.'

Edelson, which first flagged the $2 million in missing settlement funds that launched the downfall of Girardi Keese, has agreed to compensate those clients, who were represented by both firms in lawsuits against Boeing over the Lion Air crash.  Here's why that's a big deal: Tuesday's filing comes after U.S. District Judge Tom Durkin, following a lengthy hearing back in December, asked Edelson's lawyers, and attorneys for two former Girardi Keese partners, whether he could order them to pay the Lion Air clients as a potential sanction.
