<h2><span class="mw-headline">Guilty of Conspiracy</span></h2>

<p>"In a one-count criminal information filed by the government," Michael Scanlon, "partner of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, was charged Friday [November 18, 2005,] with conspiring to <b>defraud Indian tribe clients of millions of dollars in a scheme that lavished golf trips, meals and campaign donations on a member of Congress</b>," Pete Yost <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051118/ap_on_go_ot/lobbyists_tribes" class="external text" title="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051118/ap_on_go_ot/lobbyists_tribes" rel="nofollow">reported</a> for the Associated Press. "Scanlon was charged with conspiring with another lobbyist, who was identified only as 'Lobbyist A.' It has been a matter of public record for more than a year that<b> Scanlon and Abramoff had a fee-splitting arrangement and represented several Indian tribes."</b>

On November 21, 2005, Scanlon pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge and agreed to pay restitution totaling more than $19 million to the tribes. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/21/politics/21cnd-scanlon.html" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/21/politics/21cnd-scanlon.html" rel="nofollow">[6]</a>
