Dec. 27 (UPI) -- A New York jury found Evan Greebel, a former lawyer for companies run by Martin Shkreli, guilty Wednesday of scheming with the pharmaceutical executive to commit fraud.
The jury in a federal court in Brooklyn said Greebel was guilty of committing wire fraud and securities fraud. Shkreli, found guilty of securities fraud in August, hired Greebel as outside counsel for his biotechnology company Retrophin, Inc., in order to craft a Ponzi scheme between 2009 and 2014 in which he bilked investors of $11 million.
