Paul Simon is facing a new lawsuit filed by his former accountant Kenneth Ira Starr, who is currently in prison for stealing from Simon and many other celebrities in a Ponzi scheme.
TMZ is reporting that the trustee who was assigned to oversee Starr's finances has uncovered an unpaid bill for services rendered to Simon.
The trustee is seeking the amount of the bill, $17,174.49, as well as interest and attorney's fees.
Starr, who stole an estimated $33 million from his clients, declared bankruptcy in 2011 before he was to be sentenced to seven and one-half years in jail, and the trustee has been going through Starr's books to find money still owed in order to pay his creditors.
In addition to Simon, Starr's list of clients included Al Pacino, Liam Neeson and Warren Beatty.
