Million-dollar embezzlement nets 21 months in slammer
Despite having his name on the card, Brian Lee hasn't spoken to Douglass Jennings for at least ten years.
Brian Lee was sentenced late yesterday (October 17) to 21 months in prison for embezzling more than $1 million from a couple in their 80s. They had hired Lee to do their taxes and create trusts and corporations in their behalf. But Lee used the couple's money like an ATM machine, regularly withdrawing funds for his own purposes, according to U.S. Attorney records.
Jerry Schaefer, a retired San Diego County lawyer, says that Lee was assigned to the couple by the La Jolla law firm of J. Douglass Jennings, Jr. The firm is in bankruptcy and is involved in numerous lawsuits in local courts, records show. Jennings says, "I have not talked to Brian Lee for ten years or more. I didn't know of the criminal trial." Jennings says he is "unaware" that his firm referred the couple to Lee and doesn't remember if Lee worked for the firm as an employee or independent contractor.
However, assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Tenorio, who prosecuted the case, thinks it is likely that the couple got to Lee through Jennings's law firm, which has been a heavy radio advertiser. Jennings says the bankruptcy is related to real estate deals and the many lawsuits have been settled.
