## Resource

A disbarred lawyer and former CPA with a history of fraud is facing serious charges after allegedly embezzling over $2.5 million from a clay mining company in Slidell over four years. Ohle, who posed as a consultant, reportedly funneled money into his own pockets, faked trucking contracts, sold company equipment without authorization, and hid cash through third-party accounts. With prior convictions for tax evasion and embezzlement, this case is a chilling tale of greed, deception, and the lengths some will go to for cash — and the investigation is still unfolding.
