As if he didn't already have enough troubles, Githaiga Ramsey has now ticked off a federal judge.
Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer held the Oakland [CA] solo practitioner in contempt for violating court orders. Ramsey allegedly twice tried to transfer ownership of property that had been frozen as part of an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Just two weeks ago, State Bar prosecutors initiated disbarment proceedings against Ramsey after accusing him of defrauding professional basketball player Jason Caffey out of more than $2.2 million. Ramsey was a San Francisco deputy DA at the time of the alleged fraud.
Ramsey, the 41-year-old son of a retired Alameda County judge, couldn't be reached when the State Bar charges were filed, and on Wednesday declined comment on the contempt order.
