H. Beatty Chadwick Update

I just happened to be speaking with Media Attorney Mike Malloy about another matter but I asked him how his former client H. Beatty Chadwick is doing.

Chadwick is the defrocked attorney who spent 14 years in Delaware County prison on contempt charges. Malloy was the lawyer who finally got him released

"He's fine," Malloy said. "I do hear from him."

He living in an apartment in Delaware doing the "odd (legal) job" for friends. But then most of his friends are either retired or deceased, said Malloy.

Meanwhile, according to Malloy, the "Battle Royale" continues over what ever happened to Chadwick's money. He says he lost in an overseas investment and his ex-wife's attorney said he stashed away so as not to share it with her.

Anyway, if he didn't lose the money - and there is plenty of evidence that he wasn't straight with the court about it - Chadwick gave up 14 years of freedom to hang on to it. Pretty amazing.
