Damaging New Evidence Surfaces In Coin Scandal

COLUMBUS, Ohi —

Investigators said there is damaging new evidence in the state coin scandal case.

Attorney General Jim Petro said the coin dealer at the heart of the scandal, used state money to buy a Lake Erie home.

Petro said the man behind the failed coin deal, Thomas Noe, moved $240,000 in state money to a business account and then to a personal account.

Petro also alleged that Noe forged a check for $110,00 in state money to help pay off a $43,000 landscaping bill.

The attorney general is suing Noe in court, seeking $10 to $13 million.
