Toledo Tales

(Toledo, OH) The tentacles of conspiracy emananting from the Tom Noe case have sucked in another player, according to a new Toledo Blade investigation.

Sources close to the case have fingered Kevin Holdern, a South Toledo lawn service professional, as a possible figure in the case.

"This guy took money from the Noes every week; sometimes cash, sometimes checks," said an anonymous source. "And he was always over at their houses doing God only knows what."

Another sources described Holdern as "shifty looking."

"He was always talking about "green" lawns," said the source. "At the time, I didn't pay much attention. Now I know different - "green" was just a euphemism for money. Worst off, the guy had the audacity to put the word "green" right on his truck!"

Blade reporters caught up with Holdern yesterday afternoon. He denied any involvement with Coingate.

"Hey man, I just cut their fucking grass," he said. "And no, by "grass" I am not referring to their dope."

State Senator Marc Dann condemned the latest findings.

"Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the culture of corruption that has afflicted our great state and its people for far too long," said Dann. "People like Holdern have bled the workers of Ohio and violated the public trust."
