I hope they give him the maximum sentence as he is the type of person that feeds off the middle class of America for his own selfish benefit.

Well well well.

a lawyer cheating clients...say it isn't so.

How about punishment to the fullest extent of the law, and put him in with the general population in the joint.

I just wish that our so-called "justice system" would take into consideration the horrible pain and suffering these parasites bring into the lives of regular people during a already trumatic time in their lives. So he may end up getting ayear or two in prison. So what? How many honest folks have gone through the break-up of their homes and families because of the stress induced by these vultures. How many sucides may not have occured if this type of scum were prevented from taking advantage of an economical breakdown brought on by a decaying and corrupt society that excuses the predator if he has connections. Public executions are the answer, with the profits given to those who lost all because of their greed. I'd pay to watch it.

This attorney handled a real estate transaction for me. What a nightmare! Items such as inspections and appraisals were paid at closing but he never paid the people who did the work. I had to hound him for my title insurance - makes me wonder that had I not had knowledge of that insurance would I even had received the paperwork. I heard that he also owned part of a mortgage company and would finance high risk loans then quickly sell then off... no wonder people are losing their homes. His secretary and her husband owed an oil company that went belly up....took payments for prepayment of oil and never delivered. Wonder if he represented them! Totally unbelievable.

my husband and I were victims of Mr. Kriz and his "co-conspiritors". If anyone is wondering where the $8M went, they have to look no further than Norwalk, CT. These people are nothing more than career criminals...first the auto parts business, then the oil business and now this building and developing company. The secretary and her husband have been living the high life while Mr. Kriz has been under investigation. I'm not saying that Kriz shouldn't be held accountable, BUT HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. Some of the money is now being spent on high-priced lawyers to keep the secretary and her husband out of prison. They were both arrested last year on charges stemming from the Newtown Oil scam and are facing many years in prison. I hope Kriz is singing like a bird to the FBI. I can't wait to see these people be taken down. Nobody deserves it more.

All of them should have to pay the money back,Then go to jail.They can"t pay it back if they"re in jail & making no money. Their names will be Dirt from this day forward anyway.

HARTFORD, Conn.(AP)- Federal prosecutors say a Hartford attorney has pleaded guilty to bribery and fraud for rigging bids on Fleet Bank's sale of distressed loans.

Paul Aparo pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Hartford. A message seeking comment was left for his lawyer.

Authorities say the 58-year-old Aparo conspired with Kevin J. O'Keefe, who was a vice president at Fleet Bank in Hartford, and an unidentified real estate developer to corrupt the bidding process on distressed loans that Fleet was selling.

Prosecutors say O'Keefe provided confidential bank information to Aparo and the developer to submit winning bids on the loans.

Aparo faces up to 35 years in prison and a fine of more than $1 million when he is sentenced Oct. 14.

O'Keefe pleaded guilty to the same charges last month.

That's because murderers don't ruin as many lives as this parasite did

[j-michael]

Anyone know the sentence handed out to Paul Aparo? Did he get sentenced on 10/14/08? Is he finally in the can where he belongs with the other lowlifes?
