Wake v. Kentucky Bar Ass'n

OPINION AND ORDER

A. Norrie Wake of Lexington was found guilty of mail fraud, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341; misappropriation of funds in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 666 and conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371.

Such criminal conduct as established by the convictions violates SCR 3.130(8.3).
