If I recall correctly, Tom had a wonderful recovery and is not incompetent any more. Jan 5, 2024 A federal district judge who found Tom Girardi competent to stand trial concluded that his lawyers' arguments were "wholly lacking in credibility . . . "

From the start, Tom reminded me of Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, the powerful New York mob boss who avoided prison for decades by wandering Greenwich Village’s streets in a ratty bathrobe and slippers . . ." (LA Times December 20, 2005) Dementia is not an instant onset disease right after a Federal judge reported you the federal authorities and California Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye can't protect you any more. She's also was the head of the State Bar and had control who gets disbarred and disciplined. With over 100 state bar complaints agst Girardi during her tenure, reports have it that she never found he had done anything wrong. Of course, as long as Tom was allegedly incompetent, he could not be deposed and asked to name the judges whom he had bribed.
