Q: Why was your attorney inquiring of yet another one of your attorneys as to whether or not future payments that were expected to be made pursuant to that sale could be transferred to your father? A: Because I owed him money. Q: Excuse me? A: I owed him money. Q: Well, but that’s not what this document says. It says, Before somebody else seeks to attach the payments. . . . Q: Do you see that, sir? A: Yeah. Q: Who were you afraid was going to seek to attach those payments? A: What do you mean, afraid? Q: Well, who did you anticipate would seek to attach the payments? A: Well, at that time, the government, the IRS, everybody. Q: The Henrys? A: The Henrys, whatever.Despite being under supervised release in relation to his criminal conviction, Rick Rizzolo did not disclose to his probation officer this assignment of payments. Rick Rizzolo also was not forthcoming in discovery in this action," stated Judge Pro. Per Kimtran's new claim that she should be credited for her stepson's legal fees, Judge Pro was fully aware of the legal fees when he stated: "At the close of escrow on the sale of Lions LP’s interest in TEZ (Philadelphia Crazy Horse Too) in April 2008, PFLP sent a check made out to Lions LP in the amount of $999,000 to Rick Rizzolo’s attorney, John Dawson (“Dawson”), which was deposited in Rick Rizzolo’s account in the Cook Islands. Very shortly thereafter, nearly all the funds were distributed, including $600,000 to Lisa Rizzolo; $200,000 to Rick Rizzolo’s father, Bart Rizzolo; $100,000 to the law firm Patti & Sgro; and approximately $80,000 to Dawson." Based on Rick Rizzolo's failure before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to have his sentence overturned; the lack of new information to support Kimtran's last minute claims; and Kimtran's total defiance of a Federal Court Order, it's now expected that Judge Pro will summarily dismiss Sachs' bizarre eleventh hour motion for a new trial, and immediately issue a bench warrant for Kimtran's arrest for contempt of court. I'll let you know Judge Pro's decision in future INSIDE VEGAS columns, or for immediate notification, add you name to my INSIDE VEGAS E-Brief mailing list. MORE INFORMATION:
