Twist Added To The Whittemore Story
Following up on the Whittemore story:
UNR's major donor, Harvey Whittemore, responded to his former business partners, who sued him last week, by filing one of his own, claiming his partners were guilty of racketeering, extortion, and fraud.
A copy of the court filing can be found here.
One thing that appears to be agreed upon between the adverse parties is that Whittemore owed his former partners a lot of money.
According to the former partners, Whittemore owed them money because Whittemore and his wife had embezzled millions from them.
According to Whittemore, the money he owed his partners was legally obtained debt.
We cannot help but ponder a few things in following this story:
1) It is clear that corrupt Reno attorney Kent Robison has a personal vendetta against Whittemore. A review of public records reveals that this is not the first time Robison has gone after Whittemore.
2) Robison likes to see his name in the paper. Insecure people do.
Notice how none of the attorneys are talking to the media on either side . . . except Robison. If you read the initial court filing, Robison is not even the main attorney for the partners. He did not write or file the court papers.
3) Martha Bellisle, the RGJ reporter on this story is Robison's media puppet.
Notice that Bellisle broke the original story on this, not the media in Las Vegas, where the initial case was filed. Robison pushed the story to Bellisle to attack Whittemore in the press and get his own name in the paper.
When Robison wants to smear someone in the media through the use of court files (to hide behind defamation liability) he uses Bellisle. Bellisle repeatedly lies to the community in stories on behalf of Robison.
4) Leif Reid appears to be silent in this matter. Reid has been Whittemore's long-time personal attorney. Yet he is not representing Whittemore here.
5) Will Chancellor Daniel Klaich and Athletic Director Cary Groth return the Whittemore's donations if the money UNR received was illegally obtained through embezzlement?
