Former Greenberg Traurig associate Michael Shaw pleaded guilty on Wednesday to stealing nearly $500,000 from the firm between 2002 and last year, when the scheme was discovered and he was fired. According to a guilty plea and plea agreement, Shaw has already paid $524,947 to "a victim of the fraud" -- presumably Greenberg. The agreement states that Shaw is subject to a maximum prison term of 30 years and a maximum penalty of $1,000,000.
