Chesley won billions of dollars for his clients in other mass torts, representing clients suing Pan Am over the Lockerbie terrorist attack and clients suing Dow Corning in controversial breast implant litigation.[1][3] Chesley was one of the "inner circle" of the plaintiffs' bar that negotiated the controversial $246 billion tobacco settlement on behalf of state governments, and settlements against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati for sexual abuse.
Controversy
Chesley was named in a lawsuit related to the settlement of fen-phen litigation in Kentucky. Former clients sued Chesley and three other plaintiffs' attorneys for allegedly breaching their duties by diverting most of a $200 million settlement fund to themselves with only one third to the plaintiffs.[5] Judge Joseph F. Bamberger approved the settlement, but resigned when it was revealed that he was paid $5000 a month as a director of a charitable entity funded by the settlement and directed by the attorneys.[5][6] Chesley, who collected a $20.5 million fee for negotiating the settlement, maintained that he was not co-counsel for the plaintiffs and was not aware that the attorneys were deceiving their clients and that he therefore owed no duty to the 440 plaintiffs[3]
Disbarment and retirement
On February 22, 2011, Kentucky trial commissioner William L. Graham issued an order recommending Chesley be disbarred for his actions. The Kentucky Bar Association's board of governors accepted a trial commissioner's recommendation on June 14, which called for disbarment and restitution of $7.6 million to plaintiffs.[7] It was determined that Chesley violated several ethic rules.
The Kentucky Supreme Court disbarred Chesley on March 21, 2013, unanimously voting to uphold the 2011 recommendation.[1] Chesley faced disbarment in Ohio due to reciprocal agreements between the two states; however, he opted to voluntarily retire from the practice of law in Ohio instead of go through the state's disciplinary process. The practical effect of his retirement in Ohio is the same as if he had been disbarred - Chesley will never be able to practice law in the state again.[8][9] On Nov. 18, 2013, Chesley was removed from the list of attorneys allowed to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court.[10]

In 2004 Chesley purchased what is believed to be the most expensive single-family home listed in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio. The home includes six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, custom chandeliers, wine cellar, two four-car garages with apartments on top and 27,000 square feet (2,500 m2) of living space. The French chateau style home sits on 5.3 acres (21,000 m2) nestled into 300 acres (1.2 km2) of private green space.[1]

After reading this, I don’t think the gentlemen they arrested are guilty — just victims of a racist profiler who assumed black men were in the home for bad reasons. They should sue for huge damages for false arrest.
