It was a short testimony, but it provides so much as to the real goal of the State. Continue reading…
Post 40 – Trial – Kristie Koester (part 7)
Anderson “Well, then why were Visalus commission checks being put in your account in 2013?” Koester “Because that’s how more product had to be purchased.” Anderson “You weren’t purchasing product. Do you have proof you purchased product out of your account?” Koester “I’m sure the Visalus records were brought up.” This is when no actual records were had, but we have them now. Continue reading…

Post 16 – Trial – Day 1 Commentary
$238k, $4000, Anita Serda, Board, Chico Martinez, Festival, Finances, Fundraising, Jason, Jesse Spier, Kristie Koester, PHCA, Stephanie Serda, Steve Kramer, TheftSome facts you need to know are that the PHCA had less than a $100,000 annual budget not including the festival. $42,000 of that money alone was Stephanie Serda’s salary. Anita made over $4000 to plan the festival. The accusation of Jason stealing $238,000 over 4 months is insane in and of itself. The PHCA could not raise that in years. How would Anita not believe something was wrong if a quarter of a million just disappeared? Pay close attention to the meeting minutes. They show a lot. Continue reading…
