Richard Sprague

Lawyer to the rich and indicted Richard Sprague is representing aspiring alpaca farmer/State Sen.Vince Fumo in his upcoming trial for allegedly defrauding several organizations.

But Sprague, who pledged to fight under Queensbury rules in the trial, also represented several of the organizations Fumo is alleged to have defrauded — Citizens Alliance, the State Senate and the Independence Seaport Museum — in addition to Fumo. In a motion, the prosecution alleged a “jury may readily conclude that Fumo placed his chosen attorneys… to assure the entities that Fumo’s conduct was blameless, at the same time that criminal activity actually continued.”

The prosecution sent a private message to the defense, saying it wouldn’t make the charges public if Sprague dropped out. The defense sent back (literally) a “fuck you.”

These, though, are by far the best details in the Inquirer article:

Once a week, Fumo had dispatched aides to Sprague’s home in Haverford to have his shirts laundered. Sprague, a longtime Fumo friend, has said publicly that the senator did this because he liked the way the lawyer’s aides handled his clothes. ¶ According to grand jury testimony, Fumo also had his Senate staff call a hotel in London where Sprague was staying to help the lawyer configure his computer in July 2000.

    Richard A. Sprague aka Dick [Sprague] should be more concerned about the fake court opinions that are being faxed from his office to the Schuylkill County Court of Common Pleas in Pottsville, PA, instead of how Fumo likes his shirts to be laundered.

    Dick [Sprague] also represents a fraudulent company by the name of R/S Financial Corporation. This fake company never had a banking license and is stealing people’s homes and terrorizing them. Apparently, a banking license is not needed if Dick [Sprague] is your legal representation. It should also be mentioned that the vice president of this fake company, Robert J. Rosenstein happens to have a son by the name of Rod J. Rosenstein, who is the U.S. Attorney of Maryland.

    Dick [Sprague] always knowingly represents clients for the single purpose of protecting their position at the expense of others. It is more seemingly that he is also protecting his own position. If Dick [Sprague] received $272,000 from 2000 to 2006 from Citizens Alliance for advice, I am confused. Isn’t Dick [Sprague] supposed to be “donating” his legal resources to make better communities? Can you imagine how much Dick [Sprague] would charge a non-profit corporation for actually doing some real legal work? After all, apparently Dick [Sprague] has been doing pro-bono work for the fake company using the name, R/S Financial Corporation for thirty (30) years. So much for charity!

    Richard A. Sprague should be indicted along with Fumo for his illegal activities. If you want to see exactly what Dick [Sprague] is up to, check out http://www.thefixersprague.com. This website shows what political connections can accomplish illegally.

    Why doesn’t the FBI and Justice Department indict Richard A. Sprague for all of his illegal, immoral activities? All the proof that is needed to put this bottom feeder away is on this site! The dirty Dick [Sprague] has gone too far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    While unfamiliar with current scandals, I was involved in a 1960’s case where D.A.Sprague’s failure to prosecute a manslaughter case allegedly because accused was a police chief’s son resulted in a record libel award against a Philly newspaper which criticized him. This was facilitated by the late Jim Beasley.
