(16,375 posts)1. Old Kennyboy Paxton is in a sh**load of trouble.
For instance:
Early last month, NCRM reported that prosecutors were preparing to ask a grand jury to indict Paxton on first-degree felony charges related to violations of federal securities laws. Courthouse News had reported that Special Prosecutor Kent Schaffer said a Texas Rangers investigation found that the admissions Paxton made last year didn't cover the full range of his activities, and that laws were broken further
And
UPDATE: 3:21 PM EDT
Via NY Times:
"The charges two counts of first-degree securities fraud and one count of third-degree failure to register are tied to Mr. Paxtons work soliciting clients and investors for two companies while he was a member of the Texas House of Representatives but before he was elected attorney general in November 2014."
In the most serious charges first-degree securities fraud Mr. Paxton is accused of misleading investors in a technology company, Servergy Inc., which is based in his hometown, McKinney. He is accused of encouraging the investors in 2011 to put more than $600,000 in Servergy while failing to tell them he was making a commission on their investment and misrepresenting himself as an investor in the company, said Kent A. Schaffer, one of the two special prosecutors handling the case.
