A federal judge in Florida has ordered a Portland-based medical supply company and its founder to return a $108,000 deposit they took from a customer for pandemic supplies they never delivered.
U.S. District Judge Robert N. Scola Jr. issued the default judgment Dec. 30 against Noble Partners LLC and its founder, Sean C. Grady of Portland, who is himself facing a separate five-count criminal indictment for securities fraud and theft by deception in Maine. Grady has also been barred from trading securities by the state of New Hampshire, to which he owes $238,471 in fines and restitution stemming from an alleged fraud.
