An attorney for Paluch did not return ENR phone calls, but had argued ina pretrial brief that Paluch was being prosecuted "for accounting errors for minutiae not normally handled by a CFO," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Prosecutors contended that Paluch's relationship with Paric CEO Joseph McKee deteriorated after he was passed over for a promotion to firm president. Keith Wolkoff was elevated to that role in 2012.
