Fred Pilot found this link about the Multivest scandal.

Kathleen DeSalvo, co-owner of the firm that once managed Mariner’s Point Condominium Association in Saybrook Township, was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Cleveland to 51 months in prison for mail fraud...DeSalvo, who co-owned Willoughby-based MultiVest Management Inc. with her husband, James DeSalvo, pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud back in April. She admitted to having transferred funds from clients’ bank accounts and depositing the funds into MultiVest’s accounts since 2000. She also admitted to having created false bank statements, which reflected inflated balances in client accounts and providing the false statements to the accounting department, which unknowingly created false financial statements, which then were mailed to MultiVest’s clients every month.
