The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. made a move Wednesday to start seizing Nevada assets from congressional candidate Danny Tarkanian and members of his family toward a $17 million judgment, apparently put in motion because, lawyers argue, Tarkanian missed a key deadline to file an objection. In a court filing first reported by political journalist Jon Ralston, lawyers for the FDIC stated that the Tarkanian family’s lawyers had missed a mutually agreed upon Oct. 8 deadline to file documents opposing the FDIC’s claim to his property in Nevada. Not filing any objection on time counts as a forfeit, the FDIC argued, ...
You make big bets and lose...this is what happens. The reward is huge if you pull it off but in this case Tark jr. trusted associates he should not have. His problem. Seize whatever needs to fulfill the obligation.
What this means is that the only people likely to vote for Tarkanian are folks who got screwed in real estate deals over the last 7 years which means that he'll only garner the votes of about EVERYBODY! See, Mr. Horsford, Danny is one of us!
Gee, nice timing. Kind of like the announcement of the lower unemployment figures! Do you think Obama is using the govt. to do his bidding politically?
Mr. Griffin...
Yup!!!
The whole 'conspiracy' to 'get Danny' started back when the Evil Gubbermint took control of his mind and talked him into investing all that borrowed 'hard cash' into a hare-brained scheme featuring ponies and a hotel in California, using Tark-owned land on the L.V. Blvd as collateral.
THEN, the Evil Gubbermint FORCED lil' Tark to miss a very important court filing (probably tied both he and his lawyers up on that particular Friday, maybe stashed them in a storage unit).
Complicit in this dastardly plot is Robert A. Dyson, Jr., his wife, Don Drysdale (sold the land to Dyson), the La Jolla bank that went belly-up (which brought the FDIC into the fray), and of course, Barack Obama, who designed & plotted to become President of the United States of America back in 2008 so he could 'get Danny Tarkanian' through the FDIC in October, 2012.
Good call!
So what's preventing Mr. T. from liquidating those assets he'd lose in bankruptcy and paying FDIC his "excess" net worth?
dave 202 gmag39 Just made a fool of you,big time. The Labor Department is independant and the numbers are the numbers. Nixon tried to figure a way to get to the Labor Department and he gave up.It is time for you supporters of Romneys 47% statement,the war on Medicare,Medicade,Social Security,womens rights,abortion,working people,college students,public education,the enviornment,tax breaks for billionaires and millionaires and on and on to quit lying about every issue that comes into play.
Danny boy is a licensed attorney and he if anyone should have been aware of the filing dead line. Now grow up and quit sniveling,little Tark has always been loser.
Man, the Sun is certainly trying to influence the Horsford/Tarkanian election today. I'm an independent voter, so I'm not trying to cry "conspiracy" so that my party wins. But it's interesting that there's a negative article about Tarkanian today, while Coolican wrote a fluff piece on Horsford.
Yeah, I know, it's just "the news", but there's a lot of news in the city/state/country/world. It's just interesting that the Sun chose to focus on this story on the same day that they ran the Horsford story.
A republican mindset - he doesn't want to pay for his mistakes, he wants us to.
Don't put it past the Republican no accounts electing him;they made that medicare fraudster governor in Florida didn't they ?
It seems Fair and Balanced to me.
@gmag: You're the man. You told a ridiculous story with all the humor and far-fetched conspiracy scenarios it deserved. My kudos for a job well done.
I wonder how many people will blame Obama for it raining today...
Like many Republicans, Danny thinks that the rules don't apply to him and are just for the commoners.
Mr. Tarkanian touts himself as a small business owner, and a job creator in his latest political ad. What small business, besides being a perpetual loser candidate for any and all political offices, has he been a part of? I hope he does go bankrupt so he'll get off the political stage, and realize what a total loser he really is.
Our President Endorsed Horsford and told the agency to go after Danny Tarkanian
