[edit]Other editors might want to extract from this:
- Lauria, Peter (2010-05-28). "The Pole Dancer and the Ponzi Scheme". The Daily Beast.
Lauria makes the case that the motive for the fraud was his infatuation and indulgence with Diane. When I can locate the indictment, it might confirm this. patsw (talk) 01:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- @Patsw: From reading cited articles, I got the impression that despite what the prosecutor said, Starr's infatuation with Diane was not the beginning of his embezzlement and fraud. I was looking for his birth date, which is normally on indictments, and found the indictment linked as a PDF file on a Wall Street Journal article. Unfortunately, neither that copy of the indicitment nor a subsequent one showed the birth date. The federal inmate locator register shows him as being 72 y/o currently, so he was born in 1943 or 1944. I wasn't sure how to treat that, so did my best. After I cleaned up much of the article, an anonymous user changed my edits to note that Starr was in a halfway house. I couldn't find a citation for that, but I presume the edits were done by someone with interest in and/or personal knowledge of the case, so I left that contention as it stands. Also, the indictment named Starr's son, referred to on the indictment as Ron Star (sic) Bristol. Because Bristol the last name on the indictment, that's how the PDF is identified. I don't have much time to fiddle with it, so I left it in much better shape than I found it, but the article still obviously needs work. Lastly, I don't know if Ron had to plead guilty and what the sentence might have been. The article makes an odd comparison (which could be deleted), of the situation with Ron and the sons of Bernie Madoff, whose sons it claims were not prosecuted. Actually, one died of illness and the other committed suicide. I've put too much time into this article already. Ugh. Now I've discovered still another possible error in the article and I'll fix that too. The quality of the Vanity Fair source article is atrocious tabloidism.
