Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

The attorney acted for the complainant under a power of attorney to purchase premises at 10 Moonlight Drive, Queensborough. The Committee found, beyond reasonable doubt, that he fraudulently mortgaged her property to the Island Victoria Bank without her knowledge or consent for $500,000, received the proceeds, and never paid over or accounted to her for that sum or other monies. The Committee found grave dishonesty in the conduct of his client's affairs and ordered his name struck from the Roll. No finding was made on charge (a). Decision proceeded in the parties' absence under Rule 8, relying on the complainant's affidavit under Rule 10.

Duties found breached:

• No baseless or threatened misconduct report
• Good faith and courtesy to colleagues

Aggravating factors:

• Grave dishonesty in the conduct of client's affairs
• Failure to acknowledge or satisfy Supreme Court judgment against him
