A lawyer who was formerly a financial analyst to the Federal Reserve System’s board of governors is accused of collecting disability benefits while working for two law firms, three companies and a university.
Prosecutors charged Lawrence Rufrano, 66, with wire fraud for allegedly maintaining that he was unable to work while receiving disability benefits from the Federal Reserve System and the Social Security Administration, according to an Oct. 28 press release. Rufrano lives in Brisbane, California, and is licensed to practice law in New York.
