“Garry McCarthy’s mayoral campaign accepted more than $12,000 from a lawyer who was convicted of mail fraud and filing false income tax returns after stealing nearly $1 million from a client who suffered from multiple sclerosis, state and court records show.
McCarthy — the former Chicago police superintendent who bills himself as a “law and order” candidate — reported receiving the donations from 85-year-old Stuart West.
West pleaded guilty in 1985 to charges connected to defrauding Mary Kochton Appley, who was wheelchair-bound at the time of the trial due to multiple sclerosis, according to court documents and a witness at the trial. West served as a financial advisor and sole trustee on two trusts for Appley, and from 1979 to 1982, West carried out an elaborate scheme to embezzle money from the trusts, court records show. ”
