    Try as it might, Ft. Lauderdale still can't shake America's die-hard partiers.

The federal felony charges against Andrew Gladney could result in twenty years or more in prison. As of last month, the government's investigation was ongoing, with the possibility of additional charges to come, according to a court filing submitted by Rosenblum.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Howard Marcus declined to comment about the case.

Noting Gladney's cocaine abuse, U.S. District Judge Medler, in her order denying bail, also made reference to "at least two Confidential Informants [who] reported that [Gladney] offered them money to allow him to have sex with their children."

Rosenblum says the cocaine issue "will be addressed as the litigation proceeds." As for the confidential tipsters, the attorney says, "I believe when that's fleshed out, as far as their credibility, if they are who I think they are, that issue will evaporate."

Rosenblum turned down repeated requests to facilitate and sit in on an interview with Gladney for this story. The attorney also declines to comment in detail about his case, calling it "inappropriate" to discuss pending matters. When asked to elaborate on a reference he made in court to Gladney's case involving "family issues," Rosenblum again demurs.

The attorney reports that his client is holding up well in the Jennings jail.

"It's definitely not Clayton," Rosenblum allows. "And Andrew understands that."

  1. when's the story on tom laking coming out? this case reminds me -- in more than one disturbing element -- of his ongoing troubles.

  2. I met Andrew in the late '90s. Back then he was just like others have described--tons of charisma and excitement. He would do anything for you if he liked you, and he liked almost everyone. Every other guy I knew seemed dull compared to Andrew. I'm amazed and saddened that this is what's happened to him.

  3. Maybe Mr. 7UP will say YES, YES, YES to rehab now. But with or without a drug problem, I feel sorry for Gladney's children -- their father is a first-class jerk.

  6. Gladney appeared to everything it takes to succeed: brains, money, connections, etc. What he did not seem to have was any type of work ethic required to become successful. Apparently watching his father travel around golfing, hunting, carousing left an impression that all he had to do was pony up some cash, show up to an office, and the riches will just pour in. This is an excellent case study as to the necessity of having an Estate Tax.

  7. I knew Andrew (and his first wife Cindy -- who is a lovely person) in the early 90s while he lived in Chicago. Although he maintained an office in the Loop, he never did a day of "work" there. He spent his time going to lunch at strip clubs with his buddies, golfing, and perusing the pages of mail order bride catalogs. He could be charming, and he was definitely intelligent and well-educated, at times even generous; but what struck me the most about him was his sense of entitlement. He felt he was entitled to anything he wanted, and that he should never have to work for anything. Apparently that's still the case. Very sad.

  8. Now it's come out in the mainstream press that the alleged threats Gladney made via email were to his WIFE'S BROTHER. That's apparently what Rosenblum's "family issues" comment was about. Sounds to me like maybe the man didn't like his sister marrying a round-eye druggie, so he sicced the FBI on the man from a thousand miles away.

    I for one would much rather the FBI and the Federal Court system spend their resources ferreting out and prosecuting terrorist cells and their funding sources than focus on a rich dilettante who gets drunk and/or stoned and sends empty email threats to his Chinese brother-in-law on the other side of the country that he's going to "beat his ass." But that's just me...
