A Brooklyn attorney has failed in his bid to withdraw his guilty plea to several felony charges related to a massive fraud scheme. The case stemmed from defendant Steven Coren's representation of contractors on public housing and infrastructure projects who were required by federal and state law to pay laborers a "prevailing wage." In March, Coren pleaded guilty to defrauding the government of millions of dollars earmarked for such employee-benefit contributions. In July, he moved to withdraw his plea.
