Billionaire William Koch Accused Of Kidnapping And Imprisoning Executive On Colorado Ranch

Forgive me if this has been posted, but I didn't see it.

A former employee of Oxbow Carbon, a company owned by billionaire William Koch, has filed suit accusing the tycoon and his agents of kidnapping him.

Kirby Martensen claims in his lawsuit, filed October 11 in the Northern District of California, that he was interrogated for hours at Bear Ranch, a replica of an old wild west town that Koch has built outside of Aspen, Colo.

Martenson claims that after interrogation he was held in an SUV and driven to a small airport outside of Denver instead of to the Aspen airport as he had requested.

Koch of course has his own take. In a statement, Oxbow says it did investigate Martensen for defrauding Oxbow, accepting bribes and diverting business to competitors. Oxbow says it investigated “wrongdoers” for a year before filing suit against them last March in Florida state court. Some, say the company, have already confessed to scheming against Koch.
