That application of honest services wire fraud has drawn some skepticism. Pace Law School professor Bennett Gershman told Law360 that this theory of honest services wire fraud by the government is seriously problematic. "I don't think we can say [Percoco] was the alter ego of Cuomo, he certainly wielded considerable influence, but now if you're going to start drawing lines, how much influence do you have to be sort of a surrogate public official, who has some type of obligation to the public?" Gershman said.

He and Pace University professor Gershman point to a provision of the Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct that says a lawyer has a conflict of interest when there is a “significant risk’’ that his or her representation of a client is materially limited by a personal interest. In this case, Weirch’s personal interest involves “getting elected,’’ said Gershman, who teaches prosecutorial ethics. “Clearly, to me, this would be a conflict of interest,’’ he said.
