A little more Durham background.
from 1992 report: FV Allison's name on report Lavonia's Husband (?)
2002 The annual report shows William V Bell as registered agent.
And who would the VP/Treasurer be?
James A Wall, Jr.
Where have we read that name? I have to search the hard drive, but I want to say he is the architect who designed Teasers or another club? I know the article was posted a day or so ago. And we talked about it forever ago.

"The Platinum is open Thursday thru Saturday.
The 23/24/25th of March would be the period the video is from, taken on Saturday the 25th."
She may have well been on her way there the day the N&O reporteress caught her coming out the door, gym bag slung over her shoulder.
Does anyone in the Durham area have an ear to the ground regarding Freda Black and Finesse Couch?
I do not know if they even know one another, but if they do, is it a friendly or not so friendly relationship?
Is Freda a mother?
Divorced mother of 2, I think. Maybe daughters.
I don't recall what he said. You might be right about that. Just thought that the date stamp on the video might reflect an after midnight date change. I guess it would also show the time as well so if we could see the video we could clear this mystery up. I will volunteer you to go watch it. Weak stomach here.
A google search turns up this tidbit, but the link does not go to this particular post (darn!)
Got MILF?
ROTFL!!!
I walked right into that one.
I hope that's legit and I hope it's right.
Pepper, as of right now both of those dates are within thirty days. I guess it wouldn't be advisable for all of us to hold our collective breath in anticipation though.

Let's shine a light on Mr. Olatoye and his business enterprises, from Precious stripping at the Platinum Club to, perhaps, running guns in Africa?
It seems that Africargo International is involved with a certain Victor Bout. "UN officials have accused Victor Bout of using the United Arab Emirates as a permanent base but using many "flags of convenience" and sub-contracting arrangements for his aircraft to facilitate illegal arms and diamond smuggling activities, particularly in Africa...
>From an article here: http://www.ruudleeuw.com/vbout29.htm
Research shows that the registration 9L-LEO was issued by the Sierra Leone civil aviation authority to an Antonov-8 with serial number OG3410 on 22 March 2004, and was owned by a U.S. Oregon-based company called Simax LLC, using an address in Sierra Leone "c/o Africargo International/Inter Tropic Airlines". Africargo International paid for the Airworthiness Operations Certificate (AOC) that was valid until June 2004 but was not renewed. This indicates that the plane was flying in contravention of aviation regulations in the DRC in July 2004 without a valid AOC. The Sierra Leone authorities subsequently deregistered the aircraft in October 2004.

Anyone who knows about these private little airlines knows arms fly one direction, and other things come back in the other direction. Southern Air Transport, Air America (not the Al Franken one), Evergreen. . .
At the very least, Mr. O's airline was being used to hide a weapons and diamond-smuggling plane.
Did I say Victor Bout?

Long at the center of this operation is the mysterious Russian arms dealer, Victor Bout.... His planes are registered to various companies all operating out of the United Arab Emirates.
In fact, the United Arab Emirates have been viewed as hub for trade going and coming to Afghanistan, with drugs coming from Afghanistan on their way to the West, and weapons from Bout, going back. While transportation was via Bout's different air cargo interests, it also involved the Afghan state airlines, called Ariana Airlines. The airline was controlled by Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda agents masquerading as Ariana employees flew out of Afghanistan, through Sharjah, one of the emirates, and on to points west.

-Chronicle article
This is being questioned by some posters at FODU. Is there a way to verify this?
That's news to me.
I don't think there is a way to verify it or confirm that the offer never happened. Seems unlikely to me. My roomate was an A.B. Duke Scholar and there were only about a dozen or so per year. Very impressive academic resumes and turning it down would take an extraordinary offer from another school. It is a free four year ride without a great commitment -- he occasionally wentto AB Duke social but not much more than that. I recall my roomate telling me he had to maintain a 2.5 GPA to keep it). In some reports from folks who attended school at UNC with Nifong, he had a strange hatred of Duke but if there is one thing we have learned, Nifong is one odd duck.
I'm skeptical of the AB Duke claim but I suppose it is conceivable. It is an easy thing to put down on a resume that is well nigh impossible to refute. Also, if you are exploiting anti-Duke feelings for political purposes, it is a citation to a history of sticking it to Duke.
Duke on ABC NOW !
