re: US District Court in NOLA has stayed a bunch of civil cases where fraud has been alleged.

Just looked him up. Things will get interesting all right.


For those not in the know, Alfortish is a (currently suspended) lawyer who had been head of the Louisiana Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association. He spent about four years behind bars for committing fraud to ensure a second term as head of the organization and attempting to defeat some board members who had questioned him.

Before that, he was a disgraced sports agent who had funneled money to U of Florida football players in the late 90s.

Him being involved with a massive fraud to enrich himself seems to be par for the course.
