Shatford ordered Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) founder Neil Kadisha to pay over $100 million in damages for embezzling funds, calling Kadisha a &quot;common thief&quot; after being found guilty of stealing funds from a widow.  The case arose from Kadisha&#8217;s actions while a trustee of funds earmarked for Dafna Uzyel, the widow of Kadisha&#8217;s friend, and her young children. The trusts, which gave Kadisha effective control over Uzyel&#8217;s assets, were established at the urging of Kadisha and his personal attorney who represented both Kadisha, as trustee, and Uzyel, as beneficiary &#8211; creating a conflict of interest.  The case was conducted over more than seven years, including four in trial. &quot;This well-supported and articulate decision by Judge Shatford marks the culmination of a highly complex four year trial and resulted from a Herculean effort to uncover Kadisha&#8217;s perjury, backdating of documents and embezzlements as a trustee for personal gain, without regard to the welfare of the beneficiaries,&quot; said Samuel Krane of Krane &amp; Smith in Encino, the lead trial attorney, who, along with Linda Rottman of Luce, Forward, Hamilton &amp; Scripps represented, Dafna Uzyel and her two children, Izzet and Joelle.  Deceptions uncovered at Kadisha&#8217;s trial included back-dated trial documents and promissory notes, million dollar &quot;loans&quot; to nonexistent individuals, and intentionally misleading accountings of millions of dollars in embezzled funds, some of which was used to buy Qualcomm stock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Neal Kadisha is one of the richest people in the Persian Jewish community and in LA Jewish life.
