Bloomberg Markets Publishes Investigative Article on University of Alabama Trustee Paul Bryant Jr.

This is Carol, Roger's wife. One of the nation's foremost business magazines has published an investigative article about University of Alabama trustee Paul Bryant Jr. and his ties to a massive insurance fraud scheme in the late 1990s.

Bloomberg Markets reports on the Bryant scandal in the January 2014 issue, which is on news stands now. Bryant, the son of Hall of Fame Coach Paul "Bear" Byant, is prime money man behind Alabama's powerhouse football program, and ESPN has called him one of the most powerful figures in college athletics.

Reporting on Bryant's ties to financial fraud originated here at Legal Schnauzer with a series of posts that began about five years ago. Bloomberg reporters Anthony Effinger and John Helyar picked up on those posts and expanded on them, providing the first serious scrutiny of Bryant's business practices in the mainstream press.

An early version of the article, titled "Alabama Football Dominance Powered by Bear Bryant's Son's Fortune," appeared at the Bloomberg website on Nov. 24,  2013.  An updated version appears in the January 2014 print issue and can be viewed in PDF format at the end of this post.

The Bloomberg article provides background about Bryant's rise to power in business prominence, focusing on significant details about the insurance fraud that netted a 15 year federal prison sentence for a Pennsylvania entrepreneur named Allen W. Stewart. Following is a segment from the Bloomberg Markets article:

"In contrast with his father, who basked in the celebrity that came from winning six national football championships, Bryant wields his power under the radar. Little has been written about the sources of his wealth. He started his fortune with greyhound racing in 1977. One of his tracks, in La Marque, Texas, grossed $268 million in 1993, a record for the sport, according to the Texas Racing Commission. Then he diversified into catfish farming and banking. In 2011, he sold a cement business to Mexico-based Cemex SAB for $350 million.
'I’m a pretty good risk taker,' Bryant says in a rare interview at the university’s offices in Tuscaloosa."
"Bloomberg Markets has provided exceptional insight into the fraud seeded background of one of Alabama's most secretive and powerful figures," Legal Schnauzer publisher Roger Shuler says. "The Bloomberg article shows how Bryant and his insurance company became involved in the fraud and what was driving their participation. It's a story of stunning greed that portrays Paul Bryant Jr. as a con man and a fraud, even though he sits atop the board that governs the mothership university in our state."

It would be nice if Bloomberg just kept following with these types of articles to include what is going on these days in Alabama.

Alabama hadn't seen real reporting, not for a long time.

Roger was in a sinkhole in his job and that was not ok.

A great journalist is what we must have to be well-informed: in every regard, these days especially.

Roger really proves this point, now, incarcerated in reality for his great journalism.

Of course the Rove Alabama Cultists thought they would be able to get away with hiding the degenerate pit America has dug. And, in which the ('Rove') persona can wallow around greasy slimy human filth, and not be persecuted for acting TOTALLY insane.

The 'owners' of BIZ/Bis 'Merica? United Nations [UN] said to have INSURED all we individuals in this time, depopulation purposes. The experimenting on people and using Circuses ('sports') to hide the facts of life.

Insurance? The greatest 'Ponzi' scam con ever.

Americans in a majority aren't exceptional. So called "Elected" leaders are exceptionally ignorant mostly. How many counts that are numbered, and a HL Mencken comes along - only one in millions.

Roger, like Mencken, wakes U$ the hell up.

Horrors acted out by monsters:

locking up Murphy Schnauzer's Spiritual Hollow Bamboo Roger Shuler, for telling the whole news story.

News, insurance, sports, medicine, education, courts, 'law schools' and 'law', fraternities of factions as 'Global Gov U$A' (ICELEI Agenda 21) in every city, town, municipal, state ~ countless 'bureaucrats', and think about the systems that operate America for a very select few that control 'Federal Funding'.

The key is the federal funding or so called credit. When the agents and that is, bureaucrat agents for the 'Internationals / Globalists' want credit for the varying ways that the 'Federal Reserve System' [FRS] and its private owners, decide, then there is only FRAUD.

We had a nation that was supposed to be a majority 'rule'.

Money as credit sold to we Americans as though of value - well we see what we get in that separation. Paul Bryant Jr. an Agent for the FRS, a 'HAVE' -- 'Convict' and should be in prison. Roger Shuler is in jail because he is the journalist that can enlighten and has done so too, to the real Convict Criminals and the CRIMINAL FRAUD. Roger is obviously at this time a NOT 'Have', in his life right now!

Alabama is exceptional in the Criminal Fraud reality.

Thus, Roger Shuler ~ Legal Schnauzer, a great asset to the public. BUT, to the private con feudal system which he has fully exposed -- the FRS wants him shut-up.

PRESS MAINSTREAM / Bloomberg gets that fraudsters don't stop being criminally insane convicts when they've been addicted to the absolute no boundary, FREE, to be barbaric monsters. America's critical mass 'lawlessness' isn't good for one person. The saying justice for all and injustice to one ... well, when Bloomberg can realize the higher understanding, there had best be TIDINGS in a Clarion Call. Lots Bloomberg and thank you for the getting extinction appears too 'real', too.

Roger got to get beat-up and the reality cosmic whole truth enema is the attack was in the privacy of 'home'. Then the 'Bureaucrats'
'Agents', for the FRS, were-are allowed to take hold of the power over life, liberty and the pursuit to happiness. Destroying without a blush of shame -- protection under the U.S. Constitution Articles I and IV, and more, AND our Bill of Rights', PLUS Consumer 18 Title Rights', JAIL or what has happened to Roger shows up on his CREDIT REPORT and that ownership power is GOLDMAN SACHS.

Now does the picture begin to get clear, here? The occupiers of the U$A aren't benevolent and aren't the chosen leaders either.

The Truth and all the power of this 'liberty', are locked up in jail and the key has basically been thrown-away.

Very bad news for Bloomberg, too.
