Yes, the Wired article is indeed very good
Kaplan was a very well respected litigator for 20 years before he was appointed to the Southern Diatrict bench and has always been among it's leading lights.
I am a bit surprised that you didn't encounter him given your interest in NYC mob cases, as he presided over quite a few high profile trials of Gambino Family wise guys.

I had to sit through a presentation of his vacuous nonsense to my sector, it was peak covid so he was casting from his kitchen, would not be surprised if he was at least half a bottle deep from his a little too relaxed demeanor. And of course he soon after contradicted all the boosterish yis are all great shite he was feeding us in one of his columns of skitters in the Irish Times.
I did get a hamper of sheridans cheese, crackers and not bad wine from the orgainisers for my troubles though. So on balance, hes a good thing.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 02-04-2024, 19:52.

Apropos of nothing, really, I was reminded of the marvelous scam artist who started ZZZZ Best Carpet Cleaning when he was still in high school - Barry Minkow. So I went to read up on him. Apparently the scamming never stopped, no matter how many times he was busted and went to jail. Good grief.

When he was nine years old, his mother got him a job as a telemarketer with the carpet-cleaning business where she worked.
