  "MR. MONEYBAGS" - NOE OHIO COIN SCANDAL AUDIT RELEASED
  

  A February 23 article in the Toledo Blade details results of
  a just-released audit of dealer Tom Noe's transactions related
  to the Ohio coin fund scandal.
  

  "Mr. Noe and an associate owe the state more than $13.5 million,
  the audit found.
  

  “He was basically bankrupt when he got the first $25 million,”
  Auditor Betty Montgomery said yesterday.
  

  The audit, which helped prosecutors build a 53 felony-count
  case against Mr. Noe in Lucas County, also attacked the bureau
  itself, saying it held Mr. Noe to a lower standard than other
  firms and failed to review and monitor the rare-coin funds and
  other investments."
  

  "Most of the money is unaccounted for. But auditors from Crowe
  Chizek and Company believe that hundreds of thousands of dollars
  was used by Mr. Noe to pay home contractors, appliance dealers,
  and to pay for a hospitality tent at the 2003 U.S. Senior Open
  golf championship at Inverness."
  

  "Count Mr. Gideon among those wondering where, if not how, Mr.
  Noe got the money.
  

  “We had no clue,” Mr. Gideon said. “We just thought he was Mr.
  Moneybags.”
