Rivera Trial Starts Today

Anthony Rivera's trial begins on charges flowing out of the alleged laundering of funds from a Ponzi scheme that Mr. Hall apparently ran. Other charges against Mr. Rivera include: bank fraud, wire fraud, & conspiracy. Mr. Rivera's alleged co-conspirator, Robert Hall, was convicted on one set of charges & pled guilty to another set. Over the course of the trial, Mr. Hall made some pretty out there claims & even fired his attorney in order to represent himself. Can Mr. Rivera, a sitting ANC Comissioner in ANC 6C, beat that? It looks like he's going to give his old buddy a run for the money. Back in March Mr. Rivera (representing himself, of course) sued former rival Alan Kimber for defamation. Also, his suit was for $1.2 million!! Let the wackiness ensue.
