Discipline Summaries
June 30, 2013 CRAIG JONATHAN SHABER [#159151], 57, of San Diego, was disbarred June 30, 2013 and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Shaber was disbarred as a result of his 2010 conviction for felony tax evasion, which the State Bar Court found to have involved moral turpitude. Shaber and his accountant business partner made significant amounts of money by fraudulently obtaining control of public shell companies and selling their stock in the companies for a substantial profit. They also received income through the sale of retained shares of the shell companies through brokerage accounts. Shaber signed and filed tax returns for 2000, 2001 and 2002 in which he failed to report his income from the sales of the shell companies and retained stock. Shaber attempted to evade paying taxes on a sum somewhere between $325,000 and $950,000.Shaber received minimal mitigation for having no prior discipline in seven years of practicing law. |
