When lawyers discipline themselves in secrecy and then cover up, it's an invitation to steal!

In my opinion, this is criminal behavior. How do they get away with this?

Oh, I forgot lawyers are responsible for the wording of our laws that we the people must follow.

My guess is there is a parade of loopholes as large as sinkholes, escape hatches for attorney criminal activities to be (mist)labeled in kind terms: unethical, misappropriation of assets etc.

It amazes me that the final reports actually show the funds missing. Or that there were final reports for that matter.
