Prominent Westchester GOP Attorney Guy Parisi Indicted on Fraud And False Statement Charges in Federal Embezzlement Case

WHITE PLAINS, NY -- A federal grand jury in White Plains returned an Indictment yesterday charging Westchester Republican County Committee Law Chairman Guy Parisi with conspiracy, mail fraud and false statements.

Parisi, a lawyer who according to his website, specializes in liquor licenses and serves as counsel to the Westchester County Republican Party, has been a judge in the New York State court system, was a commissioner on the New York City Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Empire State College SUNY, Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, and Marymount Manhattan College.

The charges arise from Parisi’s attempt to embezzle funds from a decedent’s estate for which he served as a court-appointed administrator, says Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Parisi was arrested yesterday morning and was presented before the United States District Judge Paul E. Davison.

Guy Parisi Indicted for Allegedly Attempting to Embezzle Millions from a Decedent’s Estate

WHITE PLAINS, NY — August 21, 2018 — Guy Parisi, the well-respected legal eagle was arrested yesterday morning by U.S. Postal Inspectors who arrived at his home at about 5am. Parisi was charged with conspiracy, fraud, and making false statements to investigators. The indictment alleges that Parisi was hired to represent the estate of a deceased Mount Vernon man, one John Doe, in Surrogate Court in 2017. The intent of John Doe, who hired Parisi, was to remove the prior Administrator who was engaged by the deceased two years before his demise in April 2000. It was thereafter that Parisi was asked by John Doe, to remove the former Administrator. When the Administrator was removed, John Doe engaged Parisi’s services to become the Administrator of the Estate. Parisi was granted the designation of Administrator by the Surrogate Court. John Doe thereafter expected Parisi would expedite the reclamation of the assets of the estate held by the Office of New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. In 2015 the rightful heir to the estate became known. The federal indictment asserts that is is after Parisi was designated Administrator of the estate that things went awry.

In order to have the assets released, the indictment alleges Parisi created a corporation known as Stokes Asset Recovery Service to handle the recovery of the assets. The company was named after the Easthampton Road where Parisi owns a beach house.

It is further alleged that Parisi created the corporation with his cousin, so as to collect a fee that ranges between 5 and 15 percent to which such a corporate structure would be entitled. The feds allege that Parisi intended to benefit from the release of funds from the NYS Comptroller’s coffers by omitting that he and his cousin had set up a corporation that John Doe was allegedly never advised to him in the first place. The indictment alleges that Parisi tried to cash in on the estate’s assets by hiring a fictitious company he created with an unnamed relative just two weeks prior to which he would not be entitled to which he would greedily share in a 15 percent of the funds worth over a couple of million in assets.

Under the law, Parisi as Administrator is entitled to receive payment for recovering the assets for a fee. John Doe was not made aware that he could also collect those same assets at no cost by filing a claim that is easily accomplished online.
