Gregory Chandler -- Ponzi Scheme Litigation

I researched this case last week while preparing a brief.  The case is Scholes v. Lehmann, 56 F. 3d 750 (7th Cir. 1995)  The Seventh Circuit affirmed, in part, a summary judgment for the plaintiff in a receiver's action to recover funds that had been distributed by the since-convicted mastermind of a Ponzi scheme.  The Court opined that the mastermind's plea agreement was admissible under Federal Rule of Evidence 803(22) to establish the defendant's liability.
