Prison Clock Ticking: Deadline Set for Incarceration
Girardi was granted until July 17 to report to federal custody, giving the Federal Bureau of Prisons time to determine an appropriate facility for someone with complex medical needs. His fate now lies not in a courtroom but in a correctional institution — a far cry from the power he once wielded.

The prosecution was led by Scott Paetty of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. Representing Girardi were Charles J. Snyder and Samuel Cross of the Federal Public Defender’s Office.
Justice Served or Too Late?
Tom Girardi’s saga is one of epic rise and ruin. From winning multimillion-dollar verdicts for victims to being disbarred and convicted of swindling the very people he once championed, Girardi’s name is now etched into the annals of legal infamy.
This isn’t just the story of a man’s fall — it’s a cautionary tale about unchecked power, broken trust, and the long, winding road of justice that, even if slow, eventually arrives.
