Tommy Noe is going to be behind bars till 2026. At least that’s how an Ohio judge sees him spending his time for the next 20 years.
Not only did Tom get caught (literally, in this case) stealing coins from the Bureau of Worker’s Comp’s piggie bank, he also got a bit too big for his britches in his effort to become a hotshot in GOP politics in Ohio. His fund-raising efforts got Pres. Bush $45,000 and Tom 27 months in the Federal pen for money laundering.
Now THAT’s dedication!
Now that most of the damage has been calculated, it looks like BWC’s faith in Tom’s coin-picking will cost the state about $13 million in lost reserves.
Some of the loot was well-spent, as Noe spruced up his home in Florida with part of the proceeds. Alas, Noe will have no more need for his FL vacation home, as he is on his way from the Federal pen in Ohio to another spot in the sunshine state, courtesy of the US Marshall’s service.
