Rumors have been percolating throughout the entertainment industry for months that all was not right with Starr and his firm—the director Mike Nichols pulled out all his money. As reporters scramble around the Manhattan courthouse trying to piece together this fast-moving story, sources familiar with Starr and his clients have filled in some of the blanks: “client number two” in the criminal complaint is an “actress" who marched into Starr’s offices on April 26 demanding to know where $1 million of her money had gone. Starr returned to the room several times to say that Associate 4 was unreachable.” 
 
 Eventually, Thurman was taken to a private conference room, where she called Associate 4’s number.
– A money manager who catered to high-profile celebrities and wealthy New Yorkers has been charged with running a $30 million Ponzi scheme. The client list of Kenneth Starr (no, not that Kenneth Starr) includes Uma Thurman and Martin Scorsese, reports Reuters. No details on exactly who lost what, but Starr made enough to afford a $7.5 million Manhattan apartment. The indictment doesn't name names of possible victims, but it recounts "an actress" storming into Starr's office to demand to know where $1 million of her money went. Jacob Bernstein of the Daily Beast identifies her as Thurman. She reportedly did get her money back, though it came not from Starr but, in classic Ponzi fashion, another client. That unlucky guy was Jim Wiatt, the former head of William Morris, writes Bernstein.
