«Breaking News» Personal injury lawyer pleads guilty to bamboozling $1m from clients

A former lawyer who invented his own superhero called 'Excuseman' has pleaded guilty to theft for bamboozling more than $1million from his clients.

Jordan Margolis was first indicted in 2016 on 36 felony counts of theft for settling more than a dozen cases without clients' knowledge then using the money for his personal use.

He pleaded guilty Monday in Cook County, Illinois to a single count of theft in a plea deal with prosecutors, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Margolis faces up to three years behind bars and a $25,000 fine. His sentencing is scheduled for next June. 

Margolis, 64, reportedly settled crash, wrongful death and personal injury cases for the clients, Assistant State’s Attorney Wayne Jakalski said in a statement to the judge Monday.

Excuseman.com, formerly run by Margolis, now reads in part: 'Jordan Lee Margolis, now apparently going by the name Jack Leiv, has hurt a lot of people'

He used a portion of the money to fund his bizarre superhero character and had made two costumes made, published three books and produced online content for a YouTube channel.

Margolis is a graduate of Northwestern Law School and has a history of working personal injury cases.

He also lured his clients in with his upscale office, according to the Tribune. 

Excuseman.com, formerly run by Margolis, now reads: 'Jordan Lee Margolis, now apparently going by the name Jack Leiv, has hurt a lot of people... his standard response to this is to make a joke, usually a bad one. 

'He claims to be a good guy, a nice guy, a funny guy, pointing to his awful attempts at humor as proof. 

'He has now been charged with 36 felony counts, including theft, theft by deception, misappropriation of financial institution property, continuing a financial crimes enterprise, and forgery. Nice guy.'

Margolis (pictured) lost his law license in 2015

Margolis' Facebook page says he currently lives in Los Angeles

The website further states: 'BE VERY CAREFUL! If you think you know "Jack", you might want to do a little bit of research first, to find out who you're REALLY dealing with. 

'This is scary stuff. Horror movie stuff. The funny, smooth-talking, friendly guy you think you know is VERY DIFFERENT than the persona that is being presented to you.'

Margolis' Facebook page says he currently lives in Los Angeles.  

He lost his law license in 2015.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
