Koch Bros Accused Of Luring And Holding A Former Employee Against Their Will (lawyer, suspected)

[TempesT68]

This is the type of thuggery that can be expect from radical right wing puppet masters like the Koch's. They have done everything from telling their employees whom to vote for, and now luring a former employee to a secluded ranch and holding them against their will for interrogation.

William Koch, the billionaire energy tycoon and prominent Republican donor, allegedly kidnapped and interrogated at a remote Aspen ranch a former top-level executive whom he suspected of subversion.
According to Courthouse News Service, Kirby Martensen, a former executive of several Koch subsidiaries, has filed suit in federal court seeking punitive damages for the alleged incident. The Huffington Post on Saturday confirmed the story with Martensen’s lawyer.

In the suit, Martensen charges that in March, Koch lured him and other employees to a secluded Aspen ranch—one with no cell phone reception or connection to the outside world—under “false pretenses.” Though Martensen thought he had been called to Aspen to discuss business, he was instead interrogated, searched and held against his will for over twenty-four hours before finally being freed.

Yes. Rich people are frequently sued by their employees. Pure thuggery. Glad you feel the same way.

If someone is tricked into going somewhere and held against their will, there should be criminal charges filed on top of a lawsuit.

That's interesting that those on the radical right think false imprisonment and other crimes a A-OK.

Well, they think it's ok for "some."

Let's face it, if it's a conservative committing the crime, they will always find a way to justify it or excuse it.

Always.
