Convicted Attorney Sues Lexington Bank
{Lexington, Kentucky}...Kentucky attorney Bryan Coffman, who is awaiting sentencing for his role in an oil drilling scam, has filed a lawsuit against Lexington-based Central Bank & Trust Co. claiming the bank improperly handed over information about his personal accounts and the finances of his business, American Oil & Gas Resources, after federal investigators started probing the business in 2008. A federal court jury deliberated about seven hours over two days before convicting Coffman and 57 year old Gary Milby in May on multiple charges of mail, wire and securities fraud. Coffman was also convicted of money laundering and money laundering conspiracy. Coffman is set for sentencing January 19th, and Milby is scheduled for sentencing January 18th, both in Lexington. Coffman's wife Megan was found not guilty of money laundering. Prosecutors on Monday dismissed charges against Vadim Tsatskin after he was sentenced to three years in prison in Canada.
