'High-tech Ponzi scheme': Brothers convicted in $240M Fort Worth cattle fraud

Image
Two brothers have been convicted in a massive $240 million cattle investment fraud scheme that cheated more than 2,200 investors across the country, federal prosecutors announced. Joshua Robert Link, formerly of Strafford, Missouri, and Jason Allen Link, of Herington, Kansas, were convicted Nov. 10 following a six-day federal trial in Fort Worth. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas, the brothers helped operate a fraudulent investment scheme through Fort Worth-based Agridime LLC, a company that sold cattle investment contracts to the public. Prosecutors said the company promised investors they could purchase individual cattle for $2,000 each. Agridime claimed it would use the money to buy and raise the cattle, process them into meat and sell the meat for a profit.

Downtown Cowtown Isis Theater Has New Ownership With Big Plans!

Image
  The Taylor "Sheridan Universe" has more in the works! Along with the Cattlemen's Steakhouse, SGS Holdings added the Downtown Cowtown Isis Theater into the mix last year. This story is making the rounds again because construction might soon begin on the ISIS renovation. SGS Holdings is owned by Taylor Sheridan, David Glasser, and Dan Schryer. They have an idea to turn it in to a Texas Style 1920's Supper Club. Supper Clubs were a popular dinner and a show back in the day of the speakeasy. Traditionally, supper clubs were considered a "destination" where patrons would spend the whole evening, from cocktail hour to nightclub-style entertainment after dinner. In recent years, a new meaning for "supper club" is now often used to refer to restaurants with a relaxed and fun atmosphere, rather than the all-night entertainment destinations of the past. - Pepper Stewart

From documents obtained by TMZ the lawsuit was filed today in California. Lauren J. Salkin filed the lawsuit claiming the characters, war over land and more are too similar to the pilot script "sovereign Nation" she submitted to Sheridan's' production company.
