GrayDown smear of Bill Simon as a corrupt businessman by association. It's a terrible time to run as a free market champion.

Strange.

We haven't heard anything about this case, which is hard to understand given Davis' proclivity to personal attacks. Nothing on the NBC3 site or the LA Times site about it. Are they sure it's even the same 'Simon?'

Funny... back in 2000, when Bill Simon first crossed my radar screen, I did a little research and found the Hindelang episode. By then Hindelang had been fired, and the question in my mind was how the heck did he manage to make it past Simon & Sons' due-diligence process? It was obviously a very costly oversight... and now it's gone even more costly!

Well, it turned out that the due-diligence had been performed for Simon & Sons by Deloitte & Touche. Interesting... a friend who is an (exceptional!) business-intelligence researcher found tons on Hindelang in the public record in a few minutes, but D&T had managed to miss it all. IMHO Simon & Sons might have a case against D&T for their failure to find this stuff.

I'm trying to dig up the information again and will post any public-domain stuff as I can.
