<blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">A Tennessee man charged by New York prosecutors with<strong> </strong>pretending

to be a Manhattan lawyer and taking thousands from would-be clients was

the co-founder of Students for Trump, a national group that mobilized

college campuses in the run-up to the 2016 election and plans to do so

again in 2020.</font></p><div class="alt_ad_block story-page-in-content-graph-2">

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">John Lambert, 23, was arrested last week and charged by Southern

District of New York prosecutors with wire fraud for having invented a

lawyer persona named “Eric Pope” that he used to solicit legal work

online. <a href="https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2019/04/17/feds-bust-phony-lawyer-whose-website-cribbed-from-cravath/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ALM reported</a> last

week that the fake firm website he created appeared to have attorney

biographies cribbed from senior partners at Cravath, Swaine & Moore.</font></p></blockquote>

<p><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">‘Students for Trump’ was<a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/Meet-the-Young-Republicans-Who/237333" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> organized </a>in

2015 by two Campbell University students, Ryan Fournier and the

above-described John Lambert, as a vehicle for students apparently

enthralled by the possibility of a serial con man occupying the White

House. Campbell, a school affiliated with North Carolina’s Baptist state

convention, is a “conservative” campus (meaning the parents of the kids

who attend are more than likely hard-core Republicans who have passed

those belief systems down to their children). While most of their

contemporaries at Campbell during the 2015-2016 campaign had already

fallen in line behind Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz, Fournier and Lambert

doggedly persisted on social media, developing an online platform that

ultimately grew to realize 300 campus chapters and boasting tens of

thousands of social media followers (some even outside the Russian

federation). Eventually they were contacted by the Trump campaign which

assisted them in expanding their online footprint. Lambert eventually

wound up giving interviews on <em>Fox News</em> and co-hosting speaking engagements speaking with right-wing misogynst Milo Yiannopoulos.</font></span>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>The organization founded by these two was <a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/Meet-the-Young-Republicans-Who/237333" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notably responsible</a> for

a campaign called “The Chalkening,” which urged students across the

country to scrawl messages of support for Trump, such as “Build the

Wall,” in chalk at various locations on college campuses</b>. Since the

primary message of the Trump campaign was one of exclusion, hate and

racism, the effect of this effort, which was coordinated with the Trump

campaign itself, was to create an atmosphere of intimidation among those

whose racial background aligned with those whom Trump wished to “wall

off” from America.</font></p>

<blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Minority students at several colleges, including Emory

University and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, spoke out

against the campaign. They said the pervasive scrawling of “Trump 2016”

and “Build the Wall” messages, invoking a candidate whose name had

become synonymous with racially tinged attacks, represented a threat to

their safety.</font></p><div class="alt_ad_block story-page-in-content-graph-5">

</div></blockquote>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Fournier and Lambert described this reaction at the time as “funny.”</font></p>

<blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The fact that people were getting angry about it was

funny, Mr. Fournier said. “If they’re afraid of chalk, something that

can be washed away with water — I really don’t know what they’re doing

on a university campus in the first place.”</font></p></blockquote>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The pair also complained that they were threatened and that this made

them feel “horrible.” Despite this persecution, however, the two found

ample time to give interviews, characterizing themselves as “some of the

most informed Trump supporters on policy.”</font></p>

<blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">“If we can create a healthy job market,” Mr. Lambert

said, “a lot of these issues that face us” — such as skyrocketing

student debt — “are going to solve themselves.”</span> Mr. Fournier said he’s

tired of seeing the United States lose jobs to countries like China,

Mexico, and Vietnam, and he’s excited that Mr. Trump “is committed to

bringing jobs back to America.”</font></p></blockquote>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Mr. Lambert also praised Trump for his supposed “honesty.”</font></p>

<blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">If Mr. Trump is elected, “we can actually know the

politician who is running the country,” Mr. Lambert said. “It’s no more

smoke and mirrors.”</font></p></blockquote>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The fraud alleged to have been perpetrated by Lambert involved

bilking over $16000 in fees from would-be clients to whom Lambert had <a href="https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2019/04/17/feds-bust-phony-lawyer-whose-website-cribbed-from-cravath/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">represented himself</a> as a practicing attorney.</font></p>

<blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">…In some cases, Lambert, under the fictional identity of lawyer “Eric Pope,” simply abandoned his clients, authorities said.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">As of Wednesday morning, a profile for “Pope and Dunn,” Lambert’s

purported law firm, was still available on the freelancing website

Upwork. The profile linked to a defunct website whose archived version

from 2017 includes a snazzy logo and claims the firm “protected” more

than $380 million for more than 2,000 clients. It also lists five

“attorney” profiles that appear to have been partly copied from

Cravath’s website.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">One of the supposed lawyers, Howard Whittington, is described as

helping banks “in a wide variety of domestic and international financial

transactions, including financing of mergers, acquisitions,

recapitalizations and spin‑offs, working capital financings and various

special‑purpose financings.” That phrase appears word-for-word on the

Cravath profile of retired partner James Cooper.</font></p></blockquote>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to the <em>New York Law Journal</em>, Lambert was living in

North Carolina while perpetrating the scam but “spoofed” New York

telephone numbers to make himself appear legitimate. In one circumstance

a consumer took out 10,000 from his 401k to pay the fictitious law

firm.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Lambert is currently out on bail. He is scheduled to appear for hearing in New York on April 29th.</font></p></div><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> ===</font></p>
