Correction appended


The majority owner of Morris Hardwick Schneider, Nathan Hardwick IV, said in a new court filing that he was the firm’s rainmaker but did not have oversight over its financial accounts—so he isn’t responsible for millions of dollars that went missing from the escrow accounts of MHS and its title insurance subsidiary, LandCastle Title. Instead, Hardwick accuses people in the firm’s accounting department of misappropriating the money.
