That Scott Hennen story has a new wrinkle. Scott was suddenly fired from the station where he was co-owner with no advance warning. It was very odd at the time.
According to the story above, the other co-owner of the stations is in big trouble. When someone operates a ponzi scheme, and you participate in it – and benefit from being in it before it collapses, the lawyers who come in after the fact to set things right will attempt to do a “claw back” – to track down the people who appear to have benefitted from the ponzi scheme and force them to give back the ill-gotten money.
The trustees of a $3.5 billion global ponzi scheme that collapsed is chasing Michael Kofer (who co-owns KFGO-AM, WZFG-AM, and KEGK-FM) for $36 million. As often is the case with a Ponzi scheme, it can be hard to tell the victims from the perpetrators. A Fargo court will try to sort things out later this month.
If this storm breaks over Kofer’s (apt name, if you think about it) head, Hennen should buy time, if necessary, to broadcast a great big belly laugh and dedicate it to his secret “admiree.” Fifteen seconds should do it.
