This from the article below...Environmental Destruction in West Virginia!
he former president of the company that contaminated drinking water for 300,000 West Virginians this past January has been arrested on criminal fraud charges, according to a Federal Bureau of Investigation complaint unsealed Monday.
Former Freedom Industries president Gary Southern was charged with bankruptcy fraud, wire fraud, and lying under oath during the company’s bankruptcy proceedings following the massive spill — a 10,000 gallon dump of a coal-cleaning chemical called crude MCHM into the Elk River. FBI Special Agent James F. Lafferty said in a sworn affidavit that Southern, in an attempt to protect his personal fortune of nearly $8 million and shield himself from lawsuits, developed a scheme to distance himself from the company and “deflect blame” to other parties.
FAIR WARNING
ON FUNDRAISING: This is obviously going to be a very difficult month. From all
indications we are going to have to put up a serious fight to raise enough money
to pay the bills. Some of you are going to be offended. You have the opportunity
now to go. What is going to follow will be stressful for our staff and our
readers. This is about 26K, or contributions from 1% of those receiving these
appeals. Hard to imagine that it should be so difficult. With resolve. / Marc
