I emerge from my hiatus with some interesting news on the Hunt Trustee litigation against Hyperion’s Albert Huddleston. I have obtained a copy of the Texas lawsuit (click here for .pdf 
4-29-08 Original Petition re Vranac v. Legacy, Inc. et al.pdf) as well as a listing of major players in Hyperion from the Texas Secretary of State’s Office (click here Hyperion Mgt team.mht).
The lawsuit is interesting reading, with some literary flourishes not always found in often dry petitions (complaints).
For example:
“… Since his marriage to Mary (Huddleston), Albert has pursued a variety of businesses—always unsuccessfully. Although he holds the title of chief executive officer of Legacy (the Hunt trust’s corporation that produces most of its income), his efforts in that position have been unproductive, expensive, and self-aggrandizing… . “
“… Albert (Huddleston) is well-known for his failed business ventures… . “
“… Albert (Huddleston) also requested that a distribution of an additional $20 million be made to Mary (Huddleston) to fund other misquided projects in Iraq and South Dakota. When Plaintiff informed him he was not agreeable to a distribution for these proposed expenditures, Albert became upset and threatened Plaintiff with a lawsuit… . “
Well, so much for Big Al having the Golden Touch. This is who Gov. Mike Rounds has climbed into bed with on this project.
I’m just sayin’.
