Conclusion

We accept the Agreement for Discipline by Consent and disbar respondent, retroactive to January 10, 2001, the date of his interim suspension.1 Within thirty days of the date of this opinion, Disciplinary Counsel and respondent shall establish a restitution schedule pursuant to which respondent shall make restitution to the victims whose funds were misappropriated as well as the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection for amounts which the Fund paid to the attorney appointed to protect the interests of respondent’s clients ($156.84) and any other amounts the Fund may have paid on claims resulting from respondent’s misconduct in connection with this matter. Failure to make restitution in accordance with this opinion and the restitution plan may result in respondent being held in contempt of this Court.

Within fifteen days of the date of this opinion, respondent shall file an affidavit with the Clerk of Court showing that he has complied with Rule 30 of Rule 413, SCACR, and shall also surrender his Certificate of Admission to the Practice of Law to the Clerk of Court.
