Uh oh...Jay Peak owner pulls a fast one on EB-5 investors

[RENO]

Are you f*** kidding me? This guy should be locked up and not be able to pursue any jobs, especially not be able to leave the country. Can they just lock all these scumbags up already! This is ridiculous! He's lucky he's still free and able to collect his social security.

I'm disappointed in the whole thing and have always hoped/thought that Quiros duped Bill into whatever he did illegally. Bill was like Mike S. in that he'd be busing tables or checking tickets at the lift when he had the time. My crew were regulars at Jay when he got there and talking with him he always seemed like a good guy (for whatever that is worth in a court of law!).

Bill was the only CEO that I ever had serve me a bowl of chili.

A judge is allowing the former president of the Jay Peak Ski Resort who’s accused in a multimillion-dollar fraud case to have his passport so that he can travel internationally for work.

William Stenger, former Jay Peak owner Ariel Quiros and Quiros’ adviser William Kelly have pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to embezzle investor funds and deceive investors about a proposed biotechnology project.

Stenger asked for his passport back, saying he would like to pursue international consulting opportunities to support his family.

The court on Tuesday granted the request with conditions that travel is restricted to Canada and Japan and countries passed through on the way. The trips must be approved in advance by U.S. probation and Stenger must pledge his principal residence as security.

Prosecutors say Jay Peak receiver’s $260M suit could impede grand jury probe

The criminal case and ongoing grand jury investigation into the investor fraud scandal in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom will be “detrimentally impacted” if the receiver’s lawsuit is permitted to proceed at this time, Nolan and other federal prosecutors wrote in the recent filing.

Federal prosecutors have been tightlipped about the criminal probe for years, breaking their silence this spring at a press conference in Newport to announce the filing of charges against the AnC Bio developers.

At the time, prosecutors said the criminal investigation remained ongoing, but no additional charges have been brought against any other defendants.

Many past and present state officials, including those at the highest level of Vermont’s government, from past governors James Douglas and Peter Shumlin, to current U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy have been tied to the investor fraud scandal due to their strong support of the state’s EB-5 program and backing of the projects headed by Quiros and Stenger over the years.

The filing submitted this week seeking to stay Goldberg’s lawsuit stated that Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul van de Graaf, who is prosecuting the criminal case in Vermont, will be submitting a “declaration” further explaining how allowing the civil lawsuit to proceed would hurt the criminal prosecution.

“(D)ue to the sensitive and nonpublic information pertaining to an ongoing grand jury investigation contained in the declaration,” the filing stated, “the government requests that it be maintained as an ex parte and under seal submission.”

Give them a fair trial together or separately, then hang ‘em.

From the above, "Leahy says as soon as the fraud allegations came forward, he co-sponsored legislation to reform and clean up the EB-5 program so fraud and abuse don't happen. The senator says the ongoing criminal case is "very appropriate."

Awful nice of the Congressman to close the barn door AFTER the barn is empty.

He's actually a Senator but your point is well taken.

This is hard to fathom. Bill Stenger gets court appointed counsel so taxpayers get the bill for his defense.
