stillhere (OP) User ID: 1253176 United States 08/08/2011 03:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Last summer, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused Wyly and his brother of using offshore havens to hide more than a half-billion dollars in profits over 13 years of insider stock trading. The brothers denied and were fighting the allegations. As a taxpayer, this I have a problem with, not how he gave his money away. [link to world-news.newsvine.com] "You can bend it and twist it...

A federal judge refused to dismiss the case in March. Two weeks before Wyly's death, the court ordered the brothers to turn over several documents they had sought to withhold under attorney-client privilege.?? Throughout his life, Charles Wyly and his family moved among elite society circles in Highland Park and Preston Hollow - the latter being the site of Charles Wyly's 11,000-square-foot home, which in the 2000s was known for its ritzy parties, backyard conservatory and a personal chef who once served British royalty.

He didn’t take offense to anything, even when people meant to be offensive. It was an amazing quality to have. What’s that line that reminded me so of Charles? ‘If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs’?” Well, Charles could keep his head when all about him were losing theirs.” It’s a quality that helped Charles Wyly win a football scholarship to Louisiana Tech University, where he played halfback. His brother loved to read, Sam Wyly said, which is why he had pulled into the airport to buy a newspaper after attending services at a nearby Christian Science church. Charles Wyly then drove onto a highway in his Porsche, which his children had bought for him 30 years ago. “It’s a double-lane highway,” Sam Wyly said. “He was trying to cross over, to get to the other side. There’s not a light there, and that’s where the other car hit him.” Charles Wyly loved theater, Sam Wyly said, a quality he “inherited from our mother.” In addition to his wife, Dee, Charles Wyly left behind four children and seven grandchildren, Sam Wyly said. Funeral arrangements have not been decided, he said. They gave more than $1 million to the Republican National Committee between 2000 and 2004, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. They were also among George W. Bush’s top contributors and were involved in the early political career of U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Dallas. "You can bend it and twist it...

In March, the brothers lost a bid to have the lawsuit dismissed. The SEC has been seeking to impose penalties and to force the Wylys to turn over $550 million the agency claims they made from the alleged scheme. "You can bend it and twist it...

What about banking? What 'charities' did he support? What boards did he sit on? Anything on the driver who hit him? Nothing on the driver who hit him. This is what I find suspicious so far-- Two weeks before Wyly's death, the court ordered the brothers to turn over several documents they had sought to withhold under attorney-client privilege.?? What was in the documents-- people who are allowed to keep that much wealth have to make comprises along the way--secret deals etc. Look at the super rich who are forced to turn their wealth over to "social engineering and planning scams" Again, might be nothing here, but when a billionaire is killed with a court case pending it makes you go "HMMMMMM?"

That is a small road with limited visibility and lots of curves. It is filled with speeding mexicans coming from Rifle, New Castle, Carbondale, and Basalt Colorado to serve all those rich bastards in Aspen. So...it was likely an illegal, and they will not even prosecute. |

But you can't completely dismiss the money laundering and tax evasion charges against him. A scheme that elaborate requires people in very high places to "look the other way", if not out-write act as accomplice. We can't even deposit 10k without a full blown IRS investigation, can you imagine the wheels you would have to grease in ordered to hide $500,000,000??? It is quite feasible this guy was going to spill the beans on the more important people organizing this stuff. |
