A unanimous Appellate Division, First Department panel on Thursday disbarred Manhattan attorney Scott Gibson, who submitted his resignation from the bar while under investigation for stealing from his IOLA account.
The Departmental Disciplinary Committee began investigating Gibson, who was admitted to the bar in 1982, after a check from his IOLA account bounced. Gibson subsequently admitted under oath that he had written more than 10 checks from his IOLA account to himself, for personal use, and that he deposited his own funds in the account.
