Thanks to a great friend for texting me about this Cleveland, OH newspaper story. I know see that the local Knoxville paper has a similar version of the same story. It is retrieved from the 120 and 55 page filings of the FBI warrants.
The thing I find interesting in the discovery through the FBI informant is that Mr. Jimmy Haslam‘s people would, (excuse me for a poor meta fore) throw him under the truck.
Stay tuned. I guess.
While politically I disagree with Mr. Haslam’s brother. I certainly do not find any pleasure in this story and hope that Mr. Haslam is able to recover from any embarrassment and continue a successful business.
I heard the IRS has a reward program for people who come forward like Haslam’s employees. Think anyone has come “forward” just for the reward? Nah, of course not. And as far as throwing Halsam under the bus, what kind of employee crook would say “it was all my idea” when the feds are offering immunity or a plea deal. This stuff stinks to high heaven. I wouldn’t trust Eric Holder one bit.
