By MARK NIQUETTE, The Columbus Dispatch
COLUMBUS – Coin dealer Thomas W. Noe began stealing the first day he received state money, and authorities have identified $4 million so far in suspected thefts, Attorney General Jim Petro said Thursday.

In fact, based on the evidence reviewed so far, Petro said he thinks the $50 million Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation investment in rare coins never made money – and that Noe converted state funds to pay off personal debts and possibly buy expensive homes, cars and other items.

Petro said new evidence from records received two weeks ago suggests fraudulent activity began March 31, 1998 – the day the bureau gave Noe the first of two $25 million installments.

On the same day, Noe wired $1.375 million from the coin fund to his business account – which had been running a negative balance and from which about 40 checks had bounced, the lawsuit said.

Noe also made a payment from his private business account of nearly $400,000 that day for an outstanding commercial loan, officials said.

1. Gee, that's just so, uh, Republican.

These guys think life is Robin Hood with a twist. Steal from the little guy, give to themselves.
