Heading: Mr. Wells' candor, sincerity and full disclosure in the filings and proceedings on character and fitness.

Text: The findings of the Indiana Supreme Court, at the time the record in this case was prepared, was both relatively recent and quite grave, and raised concerns about Mr. Wells' character and fitness to practice law. [5] While I am mindful of the possibility that Mr. Wells may have been chastened and educated by the findings of the Indiana Supreme Court, the fact that Mr. Wells acknowledged that his conduct was wrong cannot be reconciled with Mr. Wells' continued failure to demonstrate by performance and words his complete acceptance of responsibility for his misconduct. Mr. Wells' inability [to] take full responsibility seems consistent with his current failure to take responsibility for large debts that he has incurred since the hearing on this application.
