Former Lawyer Faces Bar Complaint Over STRS Scandal | Cleveland News

Metcalf allegedly helped steer STRS assets toward his startup, QED Technologies, by drafting deceptive documents and coordinating with board members — actions that prosecutors say were meant to funnel millions into an unproven company.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel will now decide if this warrants a formal disciplinary case before the Ohio Supreme Court — while Metcalf also battles separate lawsuits alleging financial mismanagement.
