A disbarred Cincinnati attorney admitted in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio this week that he used false identities to obtain employment with at least seven law firms as part of his guilty plea.
Richard Louis Crosby III, 37, of Mason, Ohio, pleaded guilty to three counts of Social Security number fraud Tuesday. At various times throughout his scheme, Crosby used identifying information belonging to his elderly father, his girlfriend, a deceased man and others to attempt to gain employment at law firms across the country. He falsely told at least one law firm that he was a University of Michigan football player and an ex-Marine.
