Man pleads guilty in fraud scheme

Daniel Mohler, 56, an Evergreen manager, to be sentenced later


Beacon Journal staff report

A Wadsworth man charged in connection with a sweeping, multi-million dollar-mortgage and investment fraud scheme has pleaded guilty in Summit County Common Pleas Court to corruption and securities offenses.

Daniel Mohler, 56, is the first Evergreen Cos. worker to plead guilty as part of the investigation, Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh said.

Authorities charged Mohler and 16 others late last year, alleging they operated a web of predatory borrowing and securities scams that bilked investors, homeowners and lenders out of at least $16 million.

The principal figure of the indictment is David Willan, who headed Evergreen. Mohler was Willan's investment sales manager and sold fraudulent investment securities, authorities said.

Mohler pleaded guilty to felony charges of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, serving as an unlicensed securities dealer and securities fraud. Each charge carries a sentence of three to 10 years.

He will be sentenced later, and the penalty will depend on his cooperation and testimony against Willan and other co-defendants, Walsh said.

Three employees of Carnation Banc — Craig Conner, Angela Soukup and Amanda Lower — previously pleaded guilty and agreed to testify.

Authorities have alleged that Willan transferred money out of his businesses to pay for his home, cars, a boat, his girlfriend's breast augmentation, jewelry and clothes for other girlfriends, his wife's country club dues, and an Akron strip club.
