Upon review of the evidence, we hereby adopt the findings of the board. We decline, however, to adopt the board’s recommended sanction, finding that respondent’s misconduct warrants a more severe penalty. Accordingly, respondent is hereby permanently disbarred from the practice of law in Ohio. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Moyek, C.J., A.W. Sweeney, Douglas, Wright, Resnick, F.E. Sweeney and Pfeifer, JJ., concur.
