Biden's Son, Brother Named in Two Suits
By Kimberly Kindy and Joe Stephens Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, August 24, 2008; A09
A son and a brother of Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) are accused in two lawsuits of defrauding a former business partner and an investor of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour, court records show.
The Democratic vice presidential candidate's son Hunter, 38, and brother James, 59, assert instead that their former partner defrauded them by misrepresenting his experience in the hedge fund industry and recommending that they hire a lawyer with felony convictions.
The legal actions have been playing out in New York State Supreme Court since 2007, and they focus on Hunter and James Biden's involvement in Paradigm Companies LLC, a hedge fund group. Hunter Biden, a Washington lobbyist, briefly served as president of the firm.
A lawsuit filed by their former partner Anthony Lotito Jr. asserts in court papers that the deal was crafted to get Hunter Biden out of lobbying because his father was concerned about the impact it would have on his bid for the White House. Biden was running for the Democratic nomination at the time the suit was filed.

If it doesn’t come from KOS, it doesn’t exist for the MSM.
yeah right, gonna hear that accusation soon from the MSM right?
Pregnant daughter is more relevant to America huh?
STAND [AND] UP-CHUCK!
Ha! Has the Macaca Post decided to throw in the towel, and bet on Hillary! for 2012?
Wait? This might be the excuse to unload Biden off the Dem Ticket and stick Hillary up there to offset the Palin Mania that has taken over America. By the way, if she is anything like “the Fonz” was in the 70s, she’ll blow into DC as big as a CAT 5!
I mean the other son. I think his name’s Beau.
Haven’t heard it mentioned today...or even tomorrow yet.
Is this the reason for “Family issues” that biden will drop off the ticket and hillary moves in?
By the way, I picked up the Sarah version of said magazine in the doctors waiting room today. Not only is the cover deplorable - on the second and third page is a huge spread about the wonderful fashion sense of Michelle Obama.
There you go...bin biden’s ticket out of the race.
This is just the tip of the iceberg with the Biden boys. I don’t doubt a lot of the old man’s money is being hidden in their net worth, except of course for the $500 per year on average Joe Biden donates to charity.
Interesting how the msm invents troopergate but ignores a real story with Biden involved.
2nd thought, will this become the reason for Joe to drop out so Hillary can become the VP nominee?
bttt
So what? At least neither is pregnant.
Do you think Joe is going to use this as his gracefull exit out of the VP spot?
The real question is whether or not they were taking care of their families at home when they were doing this? Joe Biden’s mother is very old...don’t they have anything better to do with their time like taking care of their mother?
How about hunting? Have they ever hunted? Have they been on any vacations outside of the country before?
Gee, do you think DISHONESTY runs in the family?
heheheheheh!
Finally! The Biden Lobbyist Dynasty gets some questions.
Ya think they’ll ask about Biden jr successfully lobbying Obama for earmarks???????????? I’ll bet not. Or maybe in the Business Section, page F12, just under “Chicago Pork Belly Futures.”
