Remember the 'discovery/ publication' of a wire tapped conversation between Tom and Nicole where they had a phone arguement (before the divorce)?What I always wanted to know about that was who was bugging who and for what purpose. I think soon we may have some answers.

When lawyers start to sing, prison bars ring

From the LA Times article:

"Some of them said they thought it highly likely that attorneys would be indicted in the near future.

Asked how serious the government was about indicting certain attorneys, one defense lawyer said: "Beyond serious.""

--------(end of Church of Scientology Shyster List)-------------

EDITOR'S NOTE: Per his request, the following attorney has been removed from the Church of Scientology Shyster List.

Murgatroyd, George W. ("Skip") -- (address 1: Baum, Hedlund, Aristei, Guilford & Downey, P.C., Suite 950, 12100 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025-7114 / phone: 310-207-3233 / fax: 310-820-7444 / address 2: 6956 Dume Drive / Malibu, CA 90265 / phone: 310-457-5035 / State Bar of California, Member no. 109761)

As of March of 1998, Mr. George W. Murgatroyd''s position is that he does not now work nor has ever worked for the Church of Scientology or any of its affiliate organizations. Indeed, in reply to this list's previous publisher/editor's initial request for confirmation or denial, Mr. Murgatroyd responded with a blanket denial. His answer was accepted on face value and he was immediately informed by that publisher/editor that his name would deleted, which it was done immediately on the next Update of the above list.

After his name was removed, at least four ARS posters provided convincing circumstantial evidence that Mr. Murgatroyd is a member or "patron" of the Church of Scientology who had litigated a lawsuit against Eli Lilly and Company on behalf of an alleged victim of the drug Prozac produced by that company (Mr. Murgatroyd lost) and at least indirectly on behalf of or in cooperation with the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a public interest group established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology. The full texts of these e-mails were e-mailed TWICE by the previous publisher/editor to Mr. Murgatroyd. The first of these messages went unanswered. The second of these e-mails included a demand for more accurate information or a clarification or rebuttal of the contra-indicating information provided to him.

Mr. Murgatroyd responded by faxing a threatening letter to the previous publisher/editor's employer and business associate, through whose ISP and without whose knowledge or permission he had e-mailed his inquiries and demand for accurate information.

Further investigation of Mr. Murgatroyd's past and present litigation history is in our view required before he can be included in the above list. Until then he can only be included in this EDITOR"S NOTE. Therefore, any additional information about this attorney, his career history, his case history, and/or his disciplinary record would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

It seems to me that P.I. Russell Andrews should be added to said list. My 2 cents.

I never realized just how much private investigators did to get dirt on people until I came here. These guys act like they are James Bonds, committing crimes supposedly to stop them.

My bad, I didn't realize the list was exclusively lawyers. Russell Andrews is the P.I. involved in the Paul Horner affair. He was calling Paul's work for over a month before the incident. That is all I know of Russell Andrews, although I hear that googling his name yields some interesting responses.

lermanet_com · Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 8:16 pm Post subject: Tom Cruise - Pellicano

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,183918,00.html
Tom Cruise and Michael Jackson, two very private show business names regularly in the news, have someone in common who could cause a lot of trouble for them: Anthony Pellicano.
But what could come out when Pelicanoâ€™s indictment is unsealed in federal court might very well include embarrassing anecdotes about this pair and many other really famous people for whom Pellicano labored.
But the federal investigators may be very serious with regards to Fields â€” whether they prove to be right or wrong about his dealings with Pellicano.

Bert Fields was not indicted as many, including me, expected. "Fields is a subject in the case and not a suspect," was the last I heard.

There are more indictments to come. The Fox story that Paul Horner linked states:

Hopefully, this will be to P.I.'s as Heidi Fleiss was to prostitution. This has the potential to turn a lot of high playing criminals states evidence to uproot even more prolific criminals, right on up the chain. It will be real interesting to see where the buck stops and how many people are convicted in this affair. Heidi Fleiss and Sammy Grivano come to mind at this stage in the game. My 2 cents.
