Mid-Atlantic The Neverending Timberline, WV: Info, Weather, and Stoke
When you get the back story of the folks who own TL, it’s probably amazing the resort was able to hang on and function as long as it did. I hope I’m wrong but expectations of a bright future there look to be unrealistic barring some really unexpected intervention on the part of the state or private investor. I know someone earlier mentioned Vail in jest, but it’s going to take some deep pockets to pull TL back into shape.

Just needs another sordid element and you're there. With the pill thing, if there's also a murder you've got L&O Criminal Intent show.
How about suspicious house fires and IRS tax men swooping in to seize assets. The pill thing can be subliminal in the background until the end, then you spring it like steel trap snapping a rabbits leg as it cries out in its death rattle.
That pill thing is a HUGE deal. I work in the medical field and had a front row seat to the DEA / FBI investigating a doc forging prescriptions and self medicating. He got his ass handed to him and "he" was the victim. Doc Fred s/b glad he's 83. If he's truly guilty, by the time this goes thru the court system he should not have many years left on this dirt to be Bubbas cellmate.

Their website says they reopened today. With top to bottom skiing on Sally. I was wrong again. I looked at the web cam a few times today. I saw no one skiing. Maybe they aren’t open?
Also I read that Fred and Tracy have been evicted from their home. This is purely a rumor. Maybe they can stay on the new mattresses in the bunk house?
So the info states there was sex exchanged by one of the Drs patients to Dr. Fred for pills.
Very interesting. Was it a transvestite? We need this for the movie of the week script.

The Timberlies people think asset seizure by the US Attorney’s office is the next step. Any thoughts. Would the RICO statute apply in this case. Doc owns 50% of the mountian, Rose 45%, and Fred, 5%.

I am curious, and there has been much local discussion in the community in the last few days, about the breakdown of ownership. I have seen the 50%, 5%, 5% referred to in the PSC docs. However, I have heard that this breakdown is for the utility company. I have heard for the ski resort the breakdown is Dr. Reichle 90%, Rose 5%, Fred 5%. I can't imagine how much of a difference this makes in the end though. I wouldn't think its going to be hard to show that the illegal drug money was used to fund or be laundered through timberline. IF that is the case then I would think that the other owners would be responsible for allowing these illegal drug moneys be used and/or filtered through the business....but would be curious about the laws on this.
I too saw the 90-5-5 ownership breakdown. Not sure which breakdown is the true breakdown. However, it has always been known that Doc is the majority stakeholder. Do authorities need to demonstrate a direct link between a business and a drug operation to seize assets or can they simply seize assets because they are owned by a known drug dealer? Can’t believe the situation has come to this. Sad.

Believe they have to demonstrate some connection (which would be tougher in absence of something like a drug sale on property), but burden then flips to owner to show it wasn't used for criminal purposes. Civil asset forfeiture is somewhat controversial because of this - you hear about a lot of cases where police simply take cars/property from people, never charge a crime, but basically dare the former owner to try to demonstrate that there's no connection to criminal activity.
Wowsa!
Tweakerlinegate has totally blown up.

Would be better for a sale to be forced as a result of bankruptcy or tax delinquency than through an inevitably contested asset seizure, which would take time to resolve in court, only after which could an auction/sale occur. Civil asset forfeiture puts a cloud over the title, which there currently isn't. A sale is much easier without a cloud over the title.
Is there any way to do an approach like Mad River with a co-op?
Absolutely, they just need to sell a $100 share to about 100,000 investors to get things up to shape and going strong. Give or take.
