The trustee claimed that Kamon has been ordered to hand over the laptop and all of Girardi’s physical files and records in his possession. While Kamon initially argued that the laptop was used for personal information and could contain “sensitive” information, he eventually reached a deal to turn the laptop over.

According to the docs, the trustee is hoping that the device might provide more information about Girardi’s shady finances, while his former clients are still wondering where their money went.

His estranged spouse was also hit with a $25 million federal bankruptcy lawsuit lodged against her by Giardi’s former clients, although the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 52, previously tried to get the lawsuit thrown out.

The TV personality claimed in the court documents that she should not be required to pay back any of the money as Girardi’s law firm was responsible for all of her finances.

“Ms. Girardi at all times was and is an entertainer with a 12th grade education," her attorney explains in the papers. "Ms. Girardi was never and is not an attorney, and she trusted that GK, Mr. Girardi, and the outside accountants, given their superior knowledge and expertise, prepared proper, lawful, and legitimate tax returns."

Jayne was originally offered the chance to pay back $25 million within a ten day period, which she denied.
