Tom Girardi‘s legal woes continue.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne‘s estranged husband was found guilty on four counts of wire fraud Aug. 27 in the grand jury trial linked to his embezzlement schemes that ran for 10-years and allowed him to steal at least $15 million in settlement funds from four clients, according to NBC News.

Girardi, who pleaded not guilty to the charges last year, currently has his sentencing scheduled for Dec. 6.

E! News has reached out to reps for both Jayne and Girardi for comment, but has not heard back at this time.

In the lawsuit against the former litigator who was a partner and owner of Girardi Keese, obtained by E! News, four previous clients claimed that Girardi had stolen the millions from their injury settlement funds.

They claimed that he had spent that money “paying other Girardi Keese clients whose own settlement funds previously had been misappropriated, paying Girardi Keese’s payroll, and paying other Girardi Keese’s expenses, including its American Express Card bills encompassing charges” that were Girardi’s personal expenses.
