The Florida Bar v. Richard Phillip Greene

no. 04-1595

Broward County

The Florida Bar recommends that Richard Phillip Greene be disbarred for his participation in a conspiracy to commit securities fraud and mail fraud and for using his trust account in the scheme. Greene argues that although he pled guilty to securities fraud he believed that he was performing a legitimate business and legal function for a client who lied to him about the deal. He argues he has shown he can be rehabilitated and should be suspended for two years rather than disbarred.
