Ex-Crapo Aide Blames Friend For Loss

U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo’s former campaign manager blames his friend for investing $250,000 from donors in a Las Vegas company amid the 2008 global financial crisis, part of a scheme intended to pay off within two months. That’s according to documents released Crapo’s office released Monday to The Associated Press, three days after the Republican senator amended his Federal Election Commission filings to reflect losing the money. The money went to a Nevada-registered company called Pyramid Global Resources, with an address three miles southwest of the city’s downtown. Its president, Fran Goldstein, hasn’t filed an annual report since 2009; Pyramid’s status has been revoked by the state/ John Miller , AP. More here.
