Who else did Ron Wellman hire in the AD?

I saw this on TOB and found it quite shocking assuming that this is true and Wellman is responsible. It was posted by Legaldeac85.

Does anyone realize who the Deacs now have minding the cash drawer? I found out last week that Randy Casstevens, the infamous, former “Chief Bookcooker” of Krispy Kreme, has resurfaced and somehow slithered his way into another high profile job as the CFO of Wake Athletics. As we can all so vividly recall, just a few short years ago, Casstevens, and two other execs, illegally manipulated the stock price at KKD by cooking the books and cashing in millions of dollars of their personal shares while the price was at its peak and didn’t look back as the stock price deflated and the rest of us lost our butts. After a five year investigation by the SEC, these three crooks were fined about $750,000 and Casstevens had to surrender his CPA license which had still not been reinstated at the time of his hiring. Casstevens has shown no signs of remorse nor has he ever apologized publicly. How could the administration at Wake possibly justify hiring this guy and trusting him to make sound financial decisions? This is a department supposedly based on integrity and honesty. Did they check his background or criminal record? Did they know about the 5 year SEC investigation and its’ findings? Or did they sweep it all under the rug and give him a second chance for being a major donor and Wake guy? Whatever the reason, this has to be one of their worst hires ever, especially as the Deacon Club is pushing hard for donations to offset poor ticket sales. These are the types of hiring practices can certainly lead to NCAA investigations, the last thing this program needs. As a fairly significant donor for the past 25 years, I’m done, until he’s gone or someone can truly rationalize his hiring. This is the final straw. This guy definitely does not deserve to be in this position for what he’s done to the local economy, not to mention many of ours retirement accounts. He certainly doesn’t need the money and his integrity is questionable at best. He deserves to be serving time with the other financial crooks of the past decade for his ill gotten gains. It’s just another bad hire and more fuel for the fire.

Anyone remember what Casstevens vanity plate says?
 
The obvious answer is that crime is okay as long as it's white collar crime.

Makes sense, as fleecing the Deacon Club for $$ to pay [Redacted] and Wellman's salaries is a major white collar crime.
 
If true, sad that this is happening. WFU should be ashamed and reprimanded for these actions.
 
Sorry but this puts the [Redacted] hire/situation on page 6. How the utter fuck does the Wake administration even remotely begin to justify this??
 
This would make for a really interesting question at the next Deacon Club event.
 
Letters to the WSJ and OGB should already be drafted. The more the better. And that call-in show which gave such good air time to the #buzzoutters.

All jokes aside, Wellman really should get fired if he hired this guy in any role that involves the finances of the Deacon Club. From all appearances, it seems that is exactly what he did.

How did the Scout AD board spin this hire?

This should go to the Triad Business Journal as well.
 
Does anyone know exactly when this hire was made? And is it SOP to send out some kind of press release for hires at this level or was Wake hoping to slide this one under the door while no one was looking?
