Harold Lee, Ex-Judge and Outspoken Off-Reservation Gambling Advocate, Convicted of Three Felonies

A Maricopa County jury convicted Harold "Bud" Lee Jr. of three felony counts related to gambling on Friday, including conspiracy and illegal control of an enterprise.

The 68-year-old Lee, who once served as a Phoenix Justice of the Peace, was allowed to remain free from custody until his sentencing, now scheduled for March 7. Lee will be eligible for probation but also faces a possible prison term.

We published a story back in April 2009 about Lee's mission in life--which has been to convince the world that Arizona's anti-gambling laws are lunacy.

Trouble for Lee was that he walked the walk, which led the state Attorney General's Office (under then-AG Terry Goddard) to secure a grand-jury conviction against the Phoenix man and two co-defendants, both of whom pleaded guilty earlier to reduced charges.

"Nik Richie"

Dirty D-bag "Nik Richie," a.k.a. Hooman Karamian, a.k.a. "Corbin Grimes," a.k.a. "Nik Lamas-Richie," is getting sued -- again.

The latest to file a suit against the leader of the "Dirty Army" is Memphis, Tennessee, TV reporter Lauren Lee, who claims a nude photo of her posted on Richie's website Dirty.com isn't her. Rather, she claims in a federal lawsuit, real pictures of her were juxtaposed with nude images of an unknown woman on the site.
