Coingate Fraudster Convicted

Ohio GOP mucky-muck and now double-felon Tom Noe was convicted on embezzlement charges today relating to his corrupt management of the state’s rare-coin investment fund.

The conviction follows on his earlier guilty plea for funneling tens of thousands of dollars in illicit funds to the Bush-Cheney ‘04 campaign. Noe faces a minimum sentence of ten years in prison.
