Toohig be permanently disbarred for multiple acts of professional misconduct that included a 2010 felony conviction for federal income tax evasion and a 2007 incident in which he used his law office trust account to temporarily conceal $710,000 conveyed to him by an acquaintance who was the subject of a police manhunt, and who was later convicted of stealing nearly $11 million from the state of Colorado.
