Oklahoma State Agency (Department of Wildlife Conservation) lost a retaliation of a whistleblower lawsuit ($750,000) for reporting misappropriation 2 weeks ago, isn’t on the news anywhere.

Was at the trial as a law student. The details were really interesting and the lawyers for the plaintiff were awesome, the AG sucked.

Haven’t seen it on the news anywhere.

The Director of the agency who did it was fired two years ago with a huge (169k) payoff. Rumor is dudeman got caught drunk in a state vehicle and was paid this amount in part so he’d cooperate on this lawsuit they just lost.
