Dallas Millionaire Upset Georgetown Didn't Name Gym after Him, Wants His $7.5 Mil Back
Curiously absent from the otherwise thorough Wikipedia page on Scott K. Ginsburg, the Dallas-based digital media entrepreneur and founder of Boardwalk Auto Group, is any mention of insider trading judgment the SEC won against him in 2002 for illegally passing non-public information on EZ Communications, Inc., a radio conglomerate, to his brother and father.
But that case is at the center of a federal lawsuit Ginsburg filed in Dallas yesterday alleging that his alma mater, Georgetown University, took his money then reneged on a promise to name its fitness center in his honor.
Ginsburg, according to the suit, took night classes at Georgetown's law school while working as a U.S. Senate staffer, graduating with his law degree in 1978. He subsequently built a small media empire and accumulated considerable wealth.
It was in late 1999 that Georgetown officials began to court Ginsburg in earnest, according to the suit. That was when the school's vice president for strategic development and external affairs (aka its chief fundraiser) first paid a visit to Ginsburg's Dallas home and outlined plans for a major expansion of the law school.
