Unwinding A Tangled Web Of Corruption
Here is the latest report on the embezzlement allegations leveled against UNR's top donors, Harvey and Annette Whittemore.
According to this story, at least two agencies are investigating allegations against developer and lobbyist Harvey Whittemore.
The Reno Police Department and the State Bar of Nevada are reviewing the claims filed by Whittemore's former business partners, who are accusing him of embezzling and misappropriating more than $40 million.
Whittemore, known to be a longtime friend of Sen. Harry Reid and family, was once considered the most powerful legislative lobbyist in Nevada and one of the top gaming attorneys in the United States.
Ironic that we have the goods for Mr. Whittemore to turn the tables on one of the lawyers representing Whittemore's former partners in this matter.
The lawyer is, of course, the oh-so-corrupt Kent Robison.
One would expect that the plaintiff's will drop Robison from their legal team when they find out that Robison himself is under criminal investigation for, among other things, fraud and embezzlement!
We are curious to see if Leif Reid will represent Whittemore in this matter. Leif Reid has also been known to represent Cindy Fox.
