A Quick Summary of the Charges Against Davison

by Don Pogreba on August 25, 2006 · 75 comments

in Montana Politics, Senator for Saginaw Chippewas

Wow. This sure doesn’t look like a registration mistake or an accounting error; this is theft and massive fraud. The Auditor’s Office is charging Davison with defrauding two families of $1.2 million:

  • conducting securities business without proper registration
  • fraudulently claiming to a client that he invested $664,000 into an IRA account that never existed.
  • Beginning in  2003 , the investor received monthly checks of $5,560, until February 2006, when a check came back marked Insufficient Funds. The investor then found out that he had no IRA account in his name at the bank Davison claimed.
  • fraudulently failing to return an investment of $250,000, as promised
  • inventing an investment opportunity called the St. Labre Indian School Trust, and taking $275,000 from a second complainant and spouse

All of this is from two complainants, who contacted the Auditor’s office quite recently. There’s every reason to believe that further investigation will reveal more fraud here.

I’m tempted to draw the connection back to Senator Burns here. After all, I am told that because Jon Tester links to Daily Kos, he is a leftwing radical. What conclusion should I draw from the fact that Conrad Burns seems to draw fraudulent, law-breaking characters like flies to Jason Klindt?

Countdown to claims  that these charges are politically motivated… 10…9…8

Update: Let the spin begin. Klindt is claiming that Davison resigned last month, even though "a search of the campaign’s Web site turns up no press release announcing the departure, and a search of the Nexis database results in no articles mentioning the split."

Thanks for your write-up on the vacation industry. I’d also like contribute that if you’re a senior taking into account traveling, it really is absolutely crucial that you buy traveling insurance for senior citizens. When traveling, seniors are at high risk of experiencing a medical emergency. Having the right insurance coverage package on your age group can safeguard your health and provide peace of mind.

Hi,. I am new to joomla and my boss is asking me to add some of the joomla functionality to the current website so that the owner of the website can itself modify the contents. I am having no idea about how to do that. My boss says that there is no need to re-build the website in joomla. If anybody can help me, I will be highly obliged.. Thanks.

Thanks for your advice on this blog. A single thing I want to say is that purchasing electronic devices items in the Internet is not new. Actually, in the past few years alone, the marketplace for online consumer electronics has grown a great deal. Today, you can get practically any specific electronic gizmo and other gadgets on the Internet, which include cameras and camcorders to computer parts and gaming consoles.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
