People not familiar with Rhode Island (where this is a *huge* story) is probably unfamiliar with what's going on with the Schilling family.In short,his video game company,which went bankrupt in a year or two,is being investigated for fraud...among other things.Seventy five million dollars of taxpayers' money (it was money loaned to Schilling by the State of Rhode Island) disappeared and while investigating that disappearance two RI state legislators,one a Rat and the other a Republican,just recently received letters threatening the safety of their family members if they pursued their investigation.
I've been following this story pretty closely for reasons I'd rather not divulge but I'd bet the clothes on my back that this story was planted to deflect attention from the SEC investigation of Schilling and others that's currently underway.
