Ken Starr's Celebrity Clients: From Uma To Sly (PHOTOS)

Step aside, Bernie!

While Madoff's Ponzi scheme involved billions of dollars and a few well-known victims, Ken Starr and his $30 million fraud scheme has the upper hand in at least one respect -- celebrities.

The New York financial adviser arrested this week for a scheme using his clients' money to purchase a fancy Manhattan apartment was the go-to adviser for wealthy entertainers, earning the trust of Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, Uma Thurman, Sylvester Stallone and numerous others. Starr used his access to the stars to "burnish an image of trustworthiness," according to the criminal complaint filed by federal prosecutors.

Here are some of Starr's celebrity clients and their stories:

A little mud on the Ken Starr name. Awesome. Who cares that most people won't know the difference - that's the best part.

"Hey did you hear about Ken Starr. Busted. Sounds like the same sleezy guy. Must be"

There is no such thing as easy money. If your investments show a huge return in time of recession, there may be something wrong. If we do not change from a nation of cheats (Enron, Madoff, Starr, etc...) we will fall.

Why don't these folks use Howard Lisch for their financial advice?

the entire financial sector is a gigantic fraud, and the politicians keep making 3,000 pages of 'reform' that will solve nothing. When will this unregulated fraud-ridden insanity end? Collapse of the dollar?.... what's it going to take?

Perhaps Uma can make a "Kill Ken" movie.... Martin, how about it? A well done movie on the total corruption of the investment/financial world depicting the people's justice we are NOT getting ... people will go to see...millions here and around the world. Martin?

So. The person who basically screwed up the ability of the Clinton Administration's abilities to deal with Osama Bin Ladin in 1998-2000 for reasons of so-called moral scandals now shows himself to be a back stabbing, stealing, morally bankrupt lawyer, while also the head of the Pepperdine Law Schoool. Great!

When does America get its chance to put Ken Starr on trial for endangering the welfare of the Unitied States of America and all of its citiizens?

Wrong Starr, Ringo done it.

The additional bummer is that having removed your money from the Starr funds you could be liable to those who remained. The removed money can be seen as an illegal gain; especially if from a fraud that you suspected. Awful double-dip possibility for prosecutors !!! Ugh!

So is this a different Ken Starr or the same Ken Starr from the Clinton scandals?

Unfortunately not the slug from the Clinton impeachment.
