In the latest chapter of the Tom Girardi scandal, a lawyer for the former chief financial officer of Girardi Keese pleaded not guilty on Thursday to multiple criminal charges of embezzling the firm’s clients.

Christopher Kamon, 49, who was the firm’s chief financial officer from 2004 to 2020, appeared virtually in federal court in Chicago, where he faces criminal charges, along with Girardi, of stealing $3 million from clients. The clients sued Boeing over the 2018 crash of Lion Air Flight 610.
