US Attorneys side with bank against beating victim

Excerpt from INSIDE VEGAS by Steve Miller, February 25, 2007:

“Not since Tony Spilotro has there been as notorious a hoodlum
as Rick Rizzolo. For the bank to say they didn’t know is farcical.”
- Stan Hunterton, attorney for Kirk Henry, 2/22/08

In a shocking turn of events, US Attorneys for Nevada, Gregory Brower and Daniel Hollingsworth, have taken the side of a California bank asking US Federal Judge Philip Pro to remove beating victim Kirk Henry from being first in line to receive his $9 million dollar court ordered settlement to be taken from the sale of the forfeited Crazy Horse Too topless bar

…

In addition to trying to take Kirk Henry’s settlement and give it to a bank, Brower and Hollingsworth asked Judge Pro to conduct a hearing behind closed doors with the bank’s attorneys allowed to argue via telephone; deny Henry’s request for discovery including an investigation into where Rizzolo hid his personal assets; and deny Henry’s request for a

trial in open court.

The government said they were doing this to save taxpayer money because they believed Henry would not prevail at trial, and by cutting short his attorney’s requests, taxpayers would save the cost of fighting the bank in open court, then losing.

This wasn’t the first time Nevada US Attorneys have raised eyebrows in this case. They have a history of trying to keep the public in the dark regarding the Crazy Horse Too. On August 13, 2007, they told Judge Pro, “The general public should not be allowed to know the proposed offers, the proprietary information, etc.” regarding the sale of the topless bar.

Politicians, state officials, judges, and attorneys working for mob figures. Sounds just like the days when “Mr. Cleanface” Harry Reid was Gaming Commissioner and the mob claimed he was in their pocket. Maybe the city motto should be “What happens in Vegas has always happened in Vegas.”
