Summary
In Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Rhonda McCullough Anderson, 156 DB 2007 (2007), the Court suspended Anderson for a period of five years, rejecting the Board's recommendation for a suspension of three years, for her conviction of one count of mail fraud involving the public corruption of Philadelphia Assistant Treasurer, Corey Kemp. At Mr. Kemp's suggestion, Ms. Anderson started an asset locator business for unclaimed property, including unclaimed Philadelphia Municipal Bonds, for which he requested and received 35% of Ms. Anderson's earnings.
