("B&B"), including Blue-Baron, had conspired in bribing/extorting judges with promises/threats of employment/unemployment as quid pro quo for the judges willfully abusing their judicial authority to aid and abet, under color of law, a corrupt B&B corporate policy to systematically suborn the perjury of thousands of witnesses in asbestos claims litigation . The scheme devised by B&B 's officers made their contingency-fee contracts valuable even when there was no legitimate underlying claim.

John Wiley PriceInvestigation:Commissioner Buysthe Same Land TwiceOn the Same DayBy Jim Schutzepublished: Wed., Jun. 29 2011 @ 5:48PM

Photo by Alex ScottJohn Wiley Price at attorney Billy Ravkind's office Monday afternoonThe story of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price runs deep. The FBI's investigation of Pricewill carry the feds back into local ancient history, according to the documents on my desk.

Before the feds are done they'll be looking at everybody from recently slain Dallas police Officer NormSmith to the late Jack Madera, who ran the commissary at the county jail, all the way back to DannyFaulkner, the illiterate house-painter who rose to the top of the local business pyramid in the 1980sbefore being sent to prison.

If nothing else, the documents tell a story that gives interesting flavor and context to thecommissioner's current imbroglio. And before I go farther, let me hasten to say that the role of NormSmith, a revered martyr, was innocent and for the good.

According to the county land records I'm looking at, Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Pricebought nine acres of land on Grady Niblo Road near Mountain Creek Lake in far southwest Dallas

from a man named Wayne White on September 3, 2002.

But here's the curious thing. On that very same day he bought the very same land from his ownadministrative assistant, Dapheny Fain.

Wait. How can you buy the same land from two different people on the same day? That's the question.Earlier today I left messages by phone and by email with both Price and Fain and did not hear backfrom them personally. I did speak with attorneys for both.

Price's criminal attorney, Bill Ravkind, told me he has "more than two" CPAs combing through all ofthe commissioner's real estate transactions over the years. He said he is not able to address questionsabout any specific transactions yet.

I spoke with Wayne White, who sold the land to Price, and I can understand why Ravkind might wantto take his time unraveling this and other deals the commissioner has been involved in.

White is an antiques dealer who once rented space from Danny Faulkner, a legendary figure in thehistory of Dallas real estate and banking scams. Faulkner was released from prison in 1998 sufferingfrom what was supposed to have been inoperable brain cancer, now in remission. He had served threeyears and 11 months of a 20-year federal sentence for stealing $100 million from five savings andloans.

Not long after his release, Faulkner was back in business, renting space on Highway 80 east of town toWhite.

"The way I met John Wiley Price," White told me, "I was renting a building from Danny, sellingantiques, and John Wiley pulled up one day. I was playing dominoes with Danny, and I said, 'Hey, Idon't want this scumbag coming in my shop.'

"Danny said, 'Oh, you're supposed to be a Christian, Wayne?' I said, 'I am, but this guy's nothing buttrouble, Danny.' He said, 'Oh, he's a pretty nice guy.'

"So John came in there. Danny's stupid. He said, 'Oh, you know what Wayne did when you pulled up?'He [Price] said, 'Well, when you get to know me, I think you'll change your mind.'

"So he [Price] was real nice, coming out to my shop on Sundays, talking to me and playing dominoeslike that, but his whole motive was to get the land."

White says his understanding was that Faulkner was under court order to sell land as part of hisrestitution requirement in the federal case. I have a document showing Faulkner sold the property inquestion on Niblo Road to White in March 1999.

But now the cast of characters comes into play. White says Price wanted his land, but he wanted Whiteto sell the land to the late Jack Madera, who operated jailhouse food concessions all over Texas.Former Dallas County Sheriff Jim Bowles bit the political dust in 2007 over gifts he had received fromMadera when Madera was running the Dallas County jail concession.

"He [Price] wanted me to sell that land to him [Price], and he wanted me to put it in a guy named JackMadera's name."

White says his friend, Officer Smith told him to steer clear: "A friend of mine, Norm Smith, who gotkilled, a police friend, said, 'Man, don't sell anything to Jack Madera. He's in charge of the commissarydown at the jail.'

"I said [to Price], 'I ain't selling it to that guy. I don't know him, and if you're buying it, you're buyingit."

White says Price backed off for a while but then came back again and again, pressuring White to sell."I bought it from Faulkner, and I was trying to keep it. But Price wanted it for himself."

White says Price played White off against White's ex-wife, who co-owned the land with him. "He wentthrough a three-year, four-year harassment, trying to get us to sell it, either by telling my ex-wife, 'I'mworried about Wayne, he might sell the property,' and telling me the same thing about her."

I asked White why he finally sold to Price.

"This guy's a scumbag with all kinds of pressure he can put on you," White said. "It will all come outwhat kind of person he is. He's just a con man. The only thing I want to say for him, you can print it,he's a Chicago politician in Texas."

I asked White if he had any idea why or how a recorded Dallas County deed had come into beingshowing his property as being conveyed from Dapheny Fain, Price's county administrative assistant, toPrice, when White had sold the land directly to Price that same day.

"Same way those car titles did, I guess," he said, referring to a series of questionable car purchases byPrice that have been in the news. "I guess he has some way of doing it like he did those car titles.

"The only thing I can tell you is, I don't know how he did, how he was able to. He did it."

Ravkind, Price's attorney, told me today: "We are having forensic people that I am paying for gothrough every one of his real estate transactions from start to finish to determine what they were, whowas involved, how much money was involved, was it properly handled or any other question you canask. I don't know the answer to that yet. I know what the explanations are. That's what we are doing aswe speak."

I also spoke with Tom Mills, attorney for Dapheny Fain, who said that he was engaged in research aswell and would not comment until that work was completed.

(One thing Ravkind's "forensic people" will likely be dealing with also is the more than $100,000 incash FBI agents removed from a safe in Price's home, according to this story on NBC DFW, Channel5.)
