The victims of Erika Jayne's husband Tom Girardi are one step closer to finding answers to where their money went.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, the federal judge presiding over Girardi's involuntary Chapter 7 has ordered a laptop owned by the once-respected lawyer to be turned over to the court.
Currently, the computer is in the possession of Girardi's former law firm employee Christopher Kamon. The trustee put in place to manage the bankruptcy was recently informed of the device and immediately rushed to court.
The trustee informed the court Kamon had reservations about turning over the laptop due to him storing personal data on it.
Despite his concerns, the trustee was able to work out a deal where Kamon agreed to turn over the laptop to allow the court to inspect files stored on it. The laptop will be returned to him after the bankruptcy is closed.
The computer was reportedly used to store a good amount of Girardi's former client's case files and internal documents. The trustee is hoping the laptop will contain information to help locate Girardi's assets and understand the cases he left behind.
