Conduits named in a federal affidavit include Lucas County Commissioner Maggie Thurber, Toledo City Councilwoman Betty Shultz, former Toledo Mayor Donna Owens and former State Representative Sally Perz. In doing so, Noe skirted federal campaign finance funding limits while meeting a pledge to raise $50,000 for the October 30, 2003, fund-raiser. The Bush campaign later named Noe a "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_Pioneer" title="Bush Pioneer" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Pioneer</a>" for raising at least $100,000 overall.... In addition to “conduits” who received between $1,750 and $4,000 from Noe to make either one or two contributions, prosecutors claim that the former rare-coin dealer used two people as “super-conduits,” giving them $6,000 and $14,300 that they then split with others who attended the fund-raiser." Noe is now is serving a jail term of at least 10 years. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051028/NEWS24/51028001/-1/NEWS" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(102, 51, 102); padding-right: 13px; background-image: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), url(" background-color="background-color" initial="initial" data:image="data:image" svg="svg" xml="xml" c="C" fxml="Fxml" version="version" d="D" encoding="encoding" utf-8="UTF-8" standalone="standalone" no="no" f="F" e="E" csvg="Csvg" http="http" a="A" fwww.w3.org="Fwww.w3.org" f2000="F2000" fsvg="Fsvg" width="width" height="height" cpath="Cpath" fill="fill" fff="fff" stroke="stroke" m1.5="M1.5" h5.982v10.5h1.5z="h5.982V10.5H1.5z" m5.765="M5.765" h11v5.39l9.427="H11v5.39L9.427" l-1.31-1.31l5.393="l-1.31-1.31L5.393" l-2.69-2.688="l-2.69-2.688" l4.2="L4.2" z="z" m9.995="M9.995" l.022="l.022" l8.2="L8.2" l2.882-2.88-1.85-1.852z="l2.882-2.88-1.85-1.852z" xmlns="xmlns" xmlns:data="data">[5]</a>On October 31, 2005, Noe pled not-guilty to all three charges.

The company received $25 million to invest in 1998, and the same again in 2001. Before this, Mr. Noe and his then managers had increased their contributions to Republican candidates by nearly 10 times. By April, according to the February 2006 indictment, Noe had already begun his illegal activities, stealing money from the investment. "His illegal actions continued until it was shut down this past May", the indictment said.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coingate_scandal#cite_note-columbusdispatch2006-4" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[4]</a> To manage the investment, Thomas Noe Inc. used a newly created subsidiary of Noe's company Vintage Coins & Collectibles, called Capital Coin (specifically, Capital Coins Ltd. I and Capital Coins Ltd. II). Capital Coin then created subsidiaries Visionary Rare Coins, Numismatic Professionals, Rare Coin Alliance, and one named Karl D. Hirtzinger.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]In 1998, Noe hired Mark Chrans to manage Visionary Rare Coins. Chrans had previously been convicted for fraud and perjury involving money-laundering in coin deals. Noe says he wasn't aware of Chrans's previous convictions. Spokesman Jeremy Jackson of the bureau said the bureau was also unaware of the convictions. In the end, Capital Coin wrote off $850,000 in losses from Visionary Rare Coins, including bad investments, unpaid loans, and advances on coin deals.In 2003, Numismatic Professionals bought two coins for $185,000, an 1855 $3 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard" title="Gold standard" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">gold coin</a> and an 1845 $10 gold coin, thought to be worth $300,000 at market value. After sending the coins to be certified, they were stolen from the mail on the way back. Police were notified, but they could not determine how the coins were lost and closed the case.Capital Coin also loaned dealer Delaware Valley Rare Coins in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broomall,Pennsylvania" title="Broomall, Pennsylvania" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Broomall, Pennsylvania</a>, which is not owned or controlled by Noe, $300,000 from the fund, which the dealer then used for his own business. The dealer used property in New Jersey as collateral. The Ohio newspaper The Toledo Blade made a public records request to the government to view the mortgage documents. Capital Coin had redacted the records, blacking out the address of the property and the owners. The Ohio attorney general ordered Noe to release the documents, noting "anyone pledging property as collateral to back publicly funded investments must make their name and address public." Lawyers for Capital Coin refused. The case was eventually settled.Only $13 million of the original $50 million invested has been recovered to date.In March 2006, a sealed-bid auction process was initiated to liquidate all high-risk coin and paper money assets.<h2 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(170, 170, 170); line-height: 1.3; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Investigation[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coingate_scandal&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Investigation" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">edit</a>]</h2>Attention first focused on the matter after the April 3, 2005 publication of a story by the Toledo Blade.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coingate_scandal#cite_note-5" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[5]</a>On May 24, 2005, Thomas Noe Inc. was sued by the state of Ohio on behalf of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Bureau_of_Workers%27_Compensation" title="Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">BWC</a>.

Noe said access was denied to the Ohio location because his lawyers were busy in Colorado and Florida and he said he was initially told the Ohio company was to be searched later. Noe said he neither owns nor controls Delaware Valley Rare Coins, reasoning that this is the reason investigators were denied access.<a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coingate_scandal#endnote_access" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(102, 51, 102); padding: 0px !important; background: none !important;">[3]</a>The Ohio inspector general became involved and asked to see the coins. $10–12 million worth of coins were apparently unaccounted for.On July 13, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Supreme_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="Ohio Supreme Court" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Ohio Supreme Court</a> ruled 5-2 that the coin-fund records were public record and should be released, rejecting the state's argument that the information was "trade secrets" and exempt from the Ohio Public Records Act. The case was heard by five Ohio appellate court justices, as five of the Supreme Court justices recused themselves having accepted campaign donations from Noe. However, after two weeks, Ohio Attorney General <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Petro" title="Jim Petro" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jim Petro</a> had released only 3 of the 120 boxes of documents.
