LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Christopher Kamon, the ex-CFO of Girardi Keese, the law firm owned by the ‘RHOBH’ star, Tom Girardi, was arrested by federal authorities on one or more charges of wire fraud. He worked at the firm before it imploded for accusations of theft and fraud in December 2020. The information was made available to the public after a popular BravoTV fan page posted the news of his arrest on social media on Tuesday.

Kamon was solely responsible for Girardi Keese’s assets and is now being charged with wire fraud alleged to have occurred in Sept 2020. The complaint was lodged against him by an FBI special agent. US Magistrate Judge Matthew Maddox ordered Kamon to be detained at Chesapeake Detention Facility in Baltimore and set a detention hearing for Thursday. He has waived his rights to an identity hearing or a preliminary hearing. Kamon’s representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment; no other information on the specifics is available for now. It is also not known whether Tom Girardi or his wife, Erika Jayne, are in any way also involved in any crimes with Kamon.

Who is Christopher Kamon?

As mentioned above, Christopher Kamon, 49, is a former Girardi Keese CFO and was in charge of the firm’s assets during his tenure. He worked for the law firm around the time when the firm was revealed to have been involved in multiple thefts from its clients. The law firm had allegedly stolen tens of millions, and ex-clients accused those associated with the firm of running a Ponzi scheme. According to the complaints, Tom Girardi, the owner, and his associates secured a financial settlement in a legal dispute, but when it came time to pay it out, they would decline with excuses. Even ‘RHOBH’ housewife and the ex-wife of Tom, Erika Jayne, was held accountable for reaping the benefits of the firm’s embezzlement.

Kamon is also named as the defendant in attorney Edelson’s lawsuit. Edelson made RICO (Racketeer Information and Corrupt Organization Act) claims against Kamon along with Erika and Tom in the case.
