The Ken Starr that went to jail.

The title of this article got me hopeful.

Ken Star sentenced to prison for fraud case


Kenneth Starr, once known as the investment advisor to the stars and a key witness in the government's tax case against actor Wesley Snipes, drew a seven-year, six-month federal sentence for cheating wealthy and elderly clients.

Federal prosecutors said Starr, whose affluent stable of clients included Oscar winners Martin Scorsese and Sylvester Stallone, had total control of some clients' finances, deciding their investments and paying their bills.

"For years, however, the defendant also victimized his clients, criminally exploiting the trust they had placed in him in order to enrich himself, his family, his friends and his business," Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Bosworth wrote in a sentencing memorandum that outlined the scheme but hid the names of the victims.

Prosecutors say Starr, 67, owes his victims more than $29 million.
