BREAKING: Former Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do has been officially disbarred following a federal bribery scandal, a decision stemming from a December 1, 2023 order by the California State Supreme Court. Do is currently serving a five-year prison sentence in Arizona after admitting to orchestrating a scheme that diverted taxpayer funds intended for needy seniors.
This urgent development marks a significant blow to Do’s legal career, as he is now barred from practicing law in California. Authorities have labeled him a “Robin Hood in reverse,” highlighting the severity of his actions that led to the misappropriation of millions in taxpayer dollars.
The California State Bar’s official disbarment announcement confirms that Do must also pay $5,000 for his role in the bribery scheme. This case underscores the ongoing issues of corruption within local governments and raises critical questions about the accountability of public officials.
In addition to the disbarment, Do has been ordered to repay $878,230.80 in restitution. The investigation revealed that he directed funds to various nonprofit organizations and businesses, which then funneled money back to him and his family members for personal gain.
As the scandal unfolds, many are left asking: what will happen to the other officials involved, and how will this impact the communities affected by the loss of vital funding?
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story, as authorities continue to investigate and reveal more details surrounding this high-profile case.
