“Advisor to the stars” Kenneth Starr, whose client list of celebrities included notables such as Sylvester Stallone and Martin Scorsese, was sentenced March 2 to seven and a half years in jail for a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.
"I stand before you a contrite, humiliated and ashamed man," Starr said at his sentencing before U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin in New York City.
Starr, 67, had "lost his moral compass,” Scheindlin said before imposing the sentence, “partly as a result of his infatuation with his younger fourth wife.”
Diane Passage, his 34-year-old wife, a former stripper, sat in the first row of the gallery at the hearing.
