A disbarred attorney and two other men conspired and stole approximately $5 million from attorney escrow accounts, according to charges announced earlier this week by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

Former attorney David Katz, his brother Jay Katz and fellow defendant Eli Luski allegedly schemed to steal and launder the money over a six-year period and looted Katz’s escrow account, as well as those of two other attorneys, who are unindicted co-conspirators.
