any of the IRA distribution request forms. Mr. Ohrman was the
only person who endorsed the distribution checks.
Statements for the months of March, April, May, June, July,
and August 1999 for the Dean Witter account were received at the
Birdshill residence. These monthly statements showed that
withdrawals totaling $44,000 were taken from the Dean Witter
account in the following amounts: March, $5,000; April, $5,000;
May, $8,000; June, $5,000; July, $13,000; and August, $8,000. In
September 1999, Mr. Ohrman changed the address on the Dean Witter
account statements from the Birdshill residence to his work
address at Spicers Paper. Consequently, the monthly statements
for September, October, November, and December 1999 for the Dean
Witter account were sent to Mr. Ohrman’s work address.
Mr. Ohrman opened an individual checking account at Wells
Fargo Bank (Wells Fargo checking account) prior to December 8,
1998, and he used this checking account throughout 1999 in
connection with his gambling. Mr. Ohrman opened the Wells Fargo
checking account without petitioner’s knowledge or consent.
Mr. Ohrman also obtained credit cards in his name alone after
graduating from Project STOP. These credit cards were used to
fund his gambling addiction and were not known to petitioner
until June 2001. The early withdrawals taken by Mr. Ohrman from
the Dean Witter account during 1999 were used at least in part to
pay down the gambling debt attributable to these credit cards.
