Lion of Las Vegas, Mike started legal catfight Tiger
The lion is none other than billionaire businessman Kirk Kerkorian, who has the distinction of building the world's largest hotel three times in Las Vegas. It is officially known as Edward Mike Davis, rich in oil and gas that speculators with countless Las Vegas connections. For many years, Kerkorian called Davis a friend of his.
It's safe to say that friendship is a thing of the past. Through Tracina Corporation, Kerkorian last week at Clark County Court of Davis and others sued for fraud in connection with an investment of $ 684 million billionaire's Denver-based Delta oil.
"Though Davis agreed to serve as an advisor to the plaintiff the deal, Davis was actually secretly conspired with others to defraud the plaintiff to investing in the Delta to enrich himself to harm the plaintiff," the lawsuit said. Filed for Tracinda Attorney Patricia Glaser, by Peter Sheridan and Jennifer Sanders.
Parker's Attorney, Norman Brownstein, founding partner of law firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, also took a hit in a lawsuit.
At the end of the year 2007 in Las Vegas, Brownstein was present during the discussion of the proposed investment Tracinda's and charged with taking an active role in highlighting the Delta's "growth investing" in the oil drilling in Utah the paradox Basin and the prospect of a "great" of new wells in Greentown, Utah.
