Whittemore Story Updates . . .
Catching up on the Harvey Whittemore story discussed below:
Several politicians, including Whittemore's close friend, Senator Harry Reid, publicly threw Whittemore under the bus by announcing that they are giving his campaign contributions to charity.
Taking this position before Whittemore is charged with a crime gives the perception that they believe Whittemore's money is dirty.
The FBI investigation into Whittemore's alleged illegal activities was aimed to surprise, according to this Las Vegas Review Journal story. The FBI simultaneously served subpoena's on Whittemore's family and employees so that these individuals did not have time to get their stories straight.
The LVRJ also indicates that the number of alleged illegal contributions from Whittemore has swelled as the FBI has identified additional Whittemore associates, family members, and spouses in the campaign reports.
We are wondering if the FBI has served subpoena's in Athens, Georgia where Whittemore's daughter and son-in-law live. The son-in-law, Todd Okeson, is a member of basketball coach Mark Fox's staff at the University of Georgia.
Whittemore and Fox had close ties when Fox was at Nevada. A key time period under the FBI's scrutiny occurred during Fox's Nevada tenure.
A visit from the FBI would be the last thing Fox needs considering his Georgia basketball team is currently in a battle for last place in the SEC.
