Seenos' vs Whittemore: What About Harvey Whittemore's Charges Against the Peppermill Casino Owners? Where are the Nevada Gaming Regulators?

Hey Harvey: Always check under your car before you start it.

Reno, Nev (KRNV & MyNews4.com) -- The battle between the controlling partners of the Peppermill Reno -- and a well-known Reno lobbyist -- is heating up. Last week, the Seeno brothers sued Harvey Whittemore on embezzlement charges for millions of dollars during their partnership. Now Whittemore is firing back.
The lawsuit reads, "this is a case involving racketeering and extortion based on threats of death... made by Albert Seeno, Jr. and Albert Seeno, III, against... Harvey Whittemore and his family. This case also involves a conspiracy between [the Seenos] and Thomas Seeno, to defraud the Whittemores... and take over [Wingfield Holding Company]...."
"The Seenos... majority owners of [Peppermill Reno]... are associated with organized crime networks..."
Whittemore's suit asks for $180 million in damages. That's in part because it states that during their partnership, Whittemore became indebted to Tom Seeno for $20 million. The suit says, "the Seenos told the Whittemores that, if they transferred all of their assets to the Seenos in payment of the debts to Seeno... they would receive an accounting and have the option to buy back into the company..."
It goes on to state that "Instead, the Seenos took all of the Whittemores' real and personal property... and eventually told the Whittemores that they would never be allowed to buy back into the company."
The kind of crimes alleged in this complaint are the kind of crimes you might see in a Hollywood movie. And the number of alleged crimes in this complaint are pretty shocking, everything from alleged bullying to alleged death threats to a "large" man hired by the Seenos, allegedly going to the home of Whittemore to steal jewels and assets from a safe.
The suit says that in August 2010, "Albert Seeno, Jr. became disgruntled about his investment in WNG. And that's when he "started falsely accusing Harvey Whittemore of embezzlement and fraud."

Albert D. Seeno Jr., Nevada Gaming Complaint, Peppermill Casino Licensee Associated With Criminals

The Peppermill Casino, Albert D. Seeno Jr. and the Hells Angels 

-----

By MATTHIAS GAFNI - Contra Costa Times

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - A lawsuit accuses the leaders of a powerful Contra Costa County, Calif., family of threatening to kill a prominent Nevada lobbyist and friend of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid after a business deal went bad.
 After the multimillion-dollar Nevada real estate venture fell apart last year, Harvey Whittemore claims Albert Seeno Jr. and his son Albert III began threatening him and his family, even sending thugs to their homes to force open a safe filled with jewelry and breaking into a house to steal computer equipment while Albert III waited in a getaway car.
 The political power broker and his wife are seeking $1.8 billion in damages, claiming the Seeno father and son were involved in racketeering, extortion, grand larceny and threats. No criminal charges were filed, and an attorney for the Seenos on Friday dismissed the allegations.
The Seeno family collectively own companies worth more than $4 billion, and are worth between $100 million and $2 billion, according to Whittemore.
 The suit filed in a Nevada federal court Wednesday, alleging fraud among other things, also names Thomas Seeno, Albert Jr.'s brother.
 Whittemore, the Las Vegas gaming, alcohol and tobacco lobbyist, alleges that Seeno Jr. threatened to "take down" the state's "political machine" by going to the FBI with alleged financial misappropriations. In his lawsuit, Whittemore includes a copy of a Seeno employee e-mail to a supervisor expressing fear that he would be asked to commit crimes for the family, after Albert Seeno III called his work cell and told him to tell Whittemore: "I am gonna fly up to Reno and break his legs if we don't get our money."
 The lawsuit also includes tales of rifts and family secrets among the tight-lipped Seenos, including one brother who allegedly threatened to "murder" another.
 The Seeno family has sued and been sued countless times. In addition, the FBI raided the company's Concord, Calif., headquarters in February 2010, and the company and its leaders have been fined for environmental and gaming violations over the years.
 This latest lawsuit comes a week after the Seenos sued Whittemore in Las Vegas, claiming he embezzled and misappropriated tens of millions of dollars from their joint company to pay for a lavish lifestyle and curry favor in the Nevada political scene.
 Seeno attorney Kent Robison of Reno said Whittemore's suit was retaliation.
 "It is beyond fiction the accusations he's making, and essentially they are garbage. The act of a desperate man doing desperate things," Robison said.
 The allegations of physical violence are "brand new nonsense," Robison said. "He never expressed a word of fear before."
 As the housing market exploded in Nevada in 2004, Thomas Seeno, of Alamo, Calif., bought a half-interest in Wingfield Nevada Group, a conglomeration of business enterprises developed by Whittemore valued then at more than $500 million, according to the suit.
 Thomas Seeno asked Whittemore whether his brother, Albert Seeno Jr., a Clayton, Calif., resident, could buy an interest, the suit alleges, saying Albert Jr. would bring tremendous resources to the deal. "Albert and Tom had been 'fighting' for years, and they saw the WNG investment as a way to bring the brothers back together," according to the suit.
 Albert Jr. bought a one-third interest in February 2007, leaving all three men with equal ownership. By then, the company was worth $500 million to $1 billion.
 As part of the agreement, the Whittemores over the years borrowed about $20 million from Tom Seeno, the suit alleges.
The Seenos would come after that money.
 As the housing market dried up like the Las Vegas desert, the relationship between Whittemore and the Seeno brothers soured.
 In February 2009, Whittemore claims Albert Jr. and Tom asked for his assistance because the family owed the IRS more than $500 million in income taxes.
 Whittemore, an attorney, employed a tax strategy that allowed the Seenos to defer their taxes, negotiate new credit lines and increase their cash flow, he claimed in the suit.
 In August 2010, with the development market crumbling, Albert Jr. became disgruntled and accused Whittemore of embezzlement, fraud and other criminal activity. They met in the family's Peppermill Hotel and Casino.
 "At the conclusion of these threats, (Seeno Jr.) reminded Mr. Whittemore of the threats he had made about murdering his own brother, Thomas Seeno, with his own bare hands and then threatened Mr. Whittemore's life and the lives of his entire family if he did not do as he was expressly instructed by Albert Seeno Jr," according to the suit.
 The Seenos' attorney paints a different story, saying Whittemore told the Seenos he was broke and could not make his payments toward the company's growing debt. The Seenos audited the books and found that Whittemore had embezzled funds, according to the attorney.
 "They found millions of dollars pulled out for personal and political uses," Robison said.
 In one instance, Robison said they found evidence Whittemore used more than $200,000 to help pay for a party featuring former President Bill Clinton. The Seenos went to the gaming control board, FBI, Reno police and state bar association with allegations of embezzlement, Robison said.
Whittemore's attorney declined to comment because of the litigation.
 Under the threats, the Whittemores began transferring money to Tom Seeno to pay off his debts, the suit alleges.
 Whittemore said he also went to Reno police to report the threats.
 A Reno police spokesman did not return a call for comment.
 Whittemore claims that more than five times between September 2010 and January 2011, the Seenos directed employees to go to his homes to intimidate them into giving them assets - including jewelry, art, furs, wine and cars - in lieu of debt payments. He estimates he lost $5 million to $10 million in assets.
 Former Wingfield employee Brad Mamer, who e-mailed his supervisor last September that he would not commit any crimes for the Seenos, said Albert III, of Pittsburg, Calif., once brought him into his office and told him " ... We (expletive) everybody - that's the Seeno Way," according to Whittemore.
 Robison said Mamer was a "disgruntled former employee" and that assets were transferred to the Seenos from Whittemore voluntarily, to pay back the debt.

Serial Killer Loose in Northern Nevada

Undersheriff Curtiss C. Kull from Humboldt County, Nevada is looking for a serial killer.




Patrick F. Carnes, 86, Missing Since April, Nevada (possible serial killer involved)

Police and the FBI are investigating at least 6 individuals who have disappeared from the I-80 corridor in Nevada under mysterious circumstances. LE believes there may be a team of truck drivers operating as serial killers working in the area.

Patrick Carnes, 86, is the most recent individual to go missing from the area. He was traveling from a visit to family in Ohio back home to Reno and had his 100-lb Akita-mix dog, Lucky, with him. His Subaru was found in the sagebrush near an I-80 off ramp parked in a suspicious manner. Police had stopped Carnes for a minor traffic violation about 9 pm on the night of April 13, 2011, and they estimate he would have reached the off ramp where his car was found around midnight.

Police are looking for help identifying the company who owns the tractor trailer on the left in this photo:
















Information can be passed on to Curtiss C. Kull, Undersheriff with the Humboldt County Sheriff Office in Winnemucca, Nevada.

Missing Person Flyer:





















Mr. Carnes disappeared at the same exit in Humboldt County as a woman in 2006. The Undersheriff needs a clue. Is this the work of a serial killer, a trucker out there in the middle of the night on the interstate system? Do you have any information?

November 20, 2011

Dear Alumni and Friends,

Friday was not a day that would make anyone on our campus proud; indeed the events of the day need to guide us forward as we try to make our campus a better place of inquiry, debate, and even dissent. This past week our campus was a site of week-long peaceful demonstrations during which students were able to express their concerns about many issues facing higher education, the University of California, our campus, our nation, and the world as a whole. Those events involved multiple rallies in the Quad and an occupation of Mrak Hall which ended peacefully a day later.

However, the events on Friday were a major deviation from that trend. In the aftermath of the troubling events we experienced, I will attempt to provide a summary of the incident with the information now available to me and the steps we will follow going forward. After a week of peaceful exchange and debate, on Thursday a group of protestors including UC Davis students and other non-UC Davis affiliated individuals established an encampment of about 25 tents on the Quad. The group was reminded that while the university provides an environment for students to participate in rallies and express their concerns and frustrations through different forums, university policy does not allow such encampments on university grounds.

On Thursday, the group stayed overnight despite repeated reminders by university staff that their encampment violated university policies and they were requested to disperse. On Friday morning, the protestors were provided with a letter explaining university policies and reminding them of the opportunities the university provides for expression. Driven by our concern for the safety and health of the students involved in the protest, as well as other students on our campus, I made the decision not to allow encampments on the Quad during the weekend, when the general campus facilities are locked and the university staff is not widely available to provide support.

During the early afternoon hours and because of the request to take down the tents, many students decided to dismantle their tents, a decision for which we are very thankful. However, a group of students and non-campus affiliates decided to stay. The university police then came to dismantle the encampment. The events of this intervention have been videotaped and widely distributed. As indicated in various videos, the police used pepper spray against the students who were blocking the way. The use of pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all and raises many questions about how best to handle situations like this.

To this effect, I am forming a task force comprised of faculty, students and staff to review the events and provide to me a thorough report within 30 days. The task force will be chosen this week and convene immediately to begin their work. As part of this, a process will be designed that allows members of the community to express their views on this matter. In addition, I will hold a series of meetings and forums with students, faculty and staff to listen to their concerns and hear their ideas for restoring civil discourse to the campus. In the interim, two UC Davis police officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave following their use of pepper spray.

Related to current policies, I am asking the office of Administrative and Resource Management and the office of Student Affairs to review our policies in relation to encampments of this nature and consider whether our existing policies reflect the needs of the students at this point in time. If our policies do not allow our students enough flexibility to express themselves, then we need to find a way to improve these policies and make them more effective and appropriate.

Our campus is committed to providing a safe environment for all to learn freely and practice their civil rights of freedom of speech and expression. At the same time, our campus has the responsibility to ensure the safety of all others who use the same spaces and rely on the same facilities, tools, environments and processes to practice their freedoms to work and study.

I spoke with students this weekend and I feel their outrage. I am deeply saddened that this happened on our campus, and as chancellor, I take full responsibility for the incident. I pledge to take the actions needed to ensure this does not happen again. I feel sorry for the harm our students were subjected to and I vow to work tirelessly to make the campus a more welcoming and safe place.

Sincerely,

Linda P.B. Katehi

Chancellor

"It was mayhem." - 20 Shots Fired in John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino in Sparks, One Hells Angel's Dead, Others Shot - Welcome to Street Vibrations!

ARE RENO AREA CASINOS SAFE? NOT DURING STREET VIBRATIONS!
The President of the San Jose Hells Angels was gunned down and stabbed last Friday in a Sparks, Nevada casino. Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew (picture, left) was shot and stabbed inside the John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino during a clash with the Vagos motorcycle club. He was near the Trader Dick's Bar in the casino. At least 20 shots were fired. The next morning when a retaliatory shooting took place, the event was cancelled. The mayor of Sparks declared a state of emergency. Luckily the bikers did not destroy the Reno/Sparks area but many bikers were dissatisfied with the event organizer and the City of Sparks. Once when dining in the buffet at the Peppermill Casino in Reno (not during Street Vibrations), we were seated next to a table of four. Two of the men were wearing their colors. UPDATE: One Angel was gunned down on October 15, 2011 at the Pettigrew funeral. Should be an interesting Street Vibrations next year.

RIP JETHRO - Sep. 7, 1960 to Sep. 24, 2011

The city canceled its part in an annual multi-city motorcycle festival on Saturday and neighboring Reno increased police patrol amid fears of retaliation over the shooting death of a prominent Hells Angels boss by a rival gang.
Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew, the 51-year-old head of the motorcycle gang's San Jose chapter, was killed late Friday in a shootout that sent hotel guests and gamblers diving under tables at John Ascuaga's Nugget hotel-casino, police said. Two California members of the Vagos Motorcycle Club also were wounded.
The gunfight apparently sparked a retaliatory drive-by shooting several hours after the casino gunfire, prompting Mayor Geno Martini to declare a formal state of emergency. A motorcyclist was
injured after he was shot Saturday morning.
"We don't want to alarm our residents," he said. "The declaration merely provides some tools and tactics our city can and should use if it comes to that."
"We don't expect further violence, but we must be prepared," he added. Martini said he also pulled the plug on the live entertainment and other festivities in Sparks related to Street Vibrations, an annual weekend-long event that has drawn tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to the area for 18 years.
Festival organizers had said they expected up to 30,000 visitors to this year's event, which began Thursday and was to run through Sunday in Reno, Sparks and Virginia City.
The man who was shot in the stomach during the drive-by shooting had been riding a motorcycle down the street from the public square where the festival was anchored. He was not being identified for his protection, police said.
That man was in stable condition, as were the two wounded Vagos members Leonard Ramirez, 45, who was shot in the abdomen, and Diego Garcia, 28, who was shot in the leg.
Deputy Police Chief Brian Allen said investigators could not independently link the casino to the attack on the cyclist, which was carried out by a gunman in a black sedan with tinted windows.
But Martini told the Reno Gazette-Journal that it "definitely" was a case of retaliation.
"After the retaliation, it's just too tense of a situation," he said. "It's hard to say what's going to happen. It's just not worth the chance."
Security also was heightened at the Reno hospital where the two Vagos members were being treated. All doors were locked there, except the emergency entrance.
Allen said there were no suspects in the killing of Pettigrew but that police arrested one Hells Angel member from California in connection with the shootings at the casino. Cesar Villagrana, 36, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a stolen firearm, Allen said. He said Villagrana was caught on videotape shooting into the crowd, but there was no evidence yet
that he struck anyone.
Allen appealed for assistance from any witnesses who might have videotaped or photographed any portion of the incident.
Martini said he had been in contact with Gov. Brian Sandoval, who pledged support if the city needed more law enforcement resources.
Allen said law enforcement was monitoring traffic on I-80 and other main routes into Reno but had no indication any motorcycle clubs were attempting to marshal more forces in the area.
Reno police said they were increasing patrols but continuing the festival there, including downtown concerts on the main casino drag where the streets were closed to traffic. They also said they would request assistance from federal law enforcement if necessary.
Police said some hotel-casinos in Reno intended to staff their doors and allow entry only to registered guests Saturday night.
Witnesses to the casino shootout described chaos erupting after a group of Vagos club members was confronted by Hells Angels members at the Nugget. Daniel Sharp, of Stockton, Calif., told the Reno Gazette-Journal that within five minutes, shots rang out: "It was mayhem."
Joe Franco, of Reno, said he saw one Hells Angel member pull out a gun after he was knocked to the ground in a fistfight.
"He was down with the bloody nose, gets up and pulls out the gun, and that's the first shot" apparently at the man who punched him, Franco told the Gazette-Journal.
The casino was evacuated and put on lockdown around midnight. The Nugget said in a statement that the casino and all its restaurants had since reopened, but that in addition to its own "extensive security force," uniformed officers would patrol inside the casino for the rest of the weekend.
Authorities in Arizona arrested more than two dozen members of the two gangs in August 2010 after a shootout between them wounded five people but none seriously in the small community of Chino Valley, north of Prescott.

UPDATE: Jethro Pettigrew funeral, Saturday, October 15, 2011:


UPDATE: Hells Angel gunned down at Pettigrew funeral on October 15, 2011 - Funeral mourner Steve "Mr. 187" Tausan, a sergeant-at-arms for the Santa Cruz chapter of the Hells Angels, was killed:


















-----

Saturday's murder at a San Jose cemetery occurred at mid-day in front of 4,000 people -- but the killer has not been found, and useful evidence has vanished.
Hells Angels honcho Steve Tausan, 52, reportedly got into a fight while attending the funeral of close friend and bike gang president Jeffery "Jethro" Pettigrew at Oak Hill Memorial Park, himself a slaying victim, when he was felled by a bullet.
Police were nearby -- standing at the gates and perimeter of the cemetery -- but by the time they arrived at the scene, Tausan had been carried out by private vehicle, the shooter was gone and, police say, someone had tried to cover up the crime in an apparent attempt to foil an official investigation.
"Although police responded quite quickly, by the time they arrived, they noticed that the scene had been tampered with," said San Jose police spokesman Jose Garcia. He would not comment whether guns, shell casings or other pieces of evidence were missing from the scene.
The Hells Angels, a secret society of motorcycle riders, typically eschew police protection and end their feuds internally, and often violently.
So despite Saturday's very public crime, the shooter was not caught. It is not known if he escaped or was killed at the scene, then hidden.
And the victim was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle, not an ambulance, also avoiding official intervention. Tausan was declared dead at a local hospital at 1:44 p.m.
Police are interviewing several witnesses, and encourage others to come forward.
Tausan was a "sergeant-at-arms," or rules enforcer, for the Santa Cruz chapter of the club who had been acquitted for murder in 1999. A former member of the San Jose chapter, he was attending the funeral of San Jose gang president Jeffery "Jethro" Pettrigrew, slain last month in a Nevada casino shootout by a member of the rival Vagos club.
Nicknamed "Mr. 187" after the state penal code number of murder, Tausan was a father and professional bail bondsman.
On Sunday, an unidentified person at Tausan Bail Bonds on San Jose's N. 1st Street would not answer questions about Tausan's death, saying simply "I don't have any information. I have no clue."
The police have no motive for Saturday's violence.
Some witnesses said that the shooter was angered after being punched by Tausan. Another said that he fired after Tausan accused him of failing to protect Pettigrew, and stripped a patch from his vest.
San Jose police would not confirm Tausan as the victim, saying that the medical examiner would release a name on Monday after the family has been notified.
The Hells Angels began in 1948 in Southern California. The San Jose chapter, headquartered in a building near Interstate 280 and Bird Avenue, was founded in 1998. The hierarchy consists of a sergeant-at-arms, as well as president, vice president and secretary-treasurer.
According to Jorge Gil-Blanco, an investigator who has specialized in outlaw motorcycle gangs since the 1990s, the Hells Angels are heavily involved in the manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs like methamphetamine -- dubbed "crank" because riders carried it on or near their crankcases for long road trips.
A former Marine and professional middleweight boxer raised in East San Jose, in 1997 Tausan was suspected of murder in the beating death of a man at the Pink Poodle strip club. During trial testimony, Gil-Blanco quoted an informant as saying that defendant Tausan was involved in illegal drug activity, information that was later declared inadmissible.
The jury acquitted Tausan, persuaded that he had acted in self-defense.
A series of police raids after Tausan's arrest also backfired. The raids were conducted to gather evidence of his Hells Angels membership and portray the club as a criminal street gang, potentially adding three years to Tausan's sentence. The raids not only failed to bolster the case, they also wound up costing local governments $1.8 million in legal settlements after the bike club filed a civil-rights lawsuit.
Saturday's funeral drew thousands of bikers from clubs all across the West Coast, such as the Henchmen, East Side Riders Car Club, Devil Dolls, Top Hatters and more.
Uniformed officers from various law enforcement agencies ringed the perimeter of the cemetery.
Tausan must have sensed his vulnerability -- after Pettigrew's death, he received death threats, he told a reporter for this newspaper recently.
No date has been set for his funeral.
Anyone with information can called homicide detectives Sgt. Dave Gutierrez or detective Brian Spears at 408-277-5283.
