Attorney John Bassett of Milwaukie, OR; scammer, tax cheat

The state of Oregon provided John Bassett with a law license in 1965 after he graduated from the University of Oregon Law School.

The Oregon State Bar found Johnny guilty of the following misconduct.

• Deposited personal and firm funds in Key Bank Lawyer Trust account for the sole purpose to mislead and avoid seizure by the IRS for payment of unpaid taxes
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation

As one would suspect, this wasn’t Johnny’s First Bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree. He previously received a complimentary admonishment for engaging in a variety of misconduct

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Oregon Supreme Court punished Johnny by gifting him with a complimentary 60-day suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. December 2016) Johnny practices at 2711 SE Swain Avenue in Milwaukie, Oregon.
