Seizing of Anthony Rodham's Assets

U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton's brother, Anthony Rodham, won't be visiting the ATM anytime soon.
Rodham has been barred from accessing his bank account while a Virginia-based bankruptcy trustee demands that he has a right to $107,000 of those funds.
The bankruptcy trustee contended in court documents to obtain the seizure of funds, that a carnival company, which failed in 2002 and has since filed bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, loaned the money to Rodham.
At issue is that in May 2000, United Shows, the carnival company, owned by Edgar Gregory Jr. and his wife Vonna, loaned the $107,000 to Rodham, who never repaid the debt.
Judicial Watch began investigating six years ago -- this is the organization that has had a bug up its hind end about the Clintons, which can be attributed to the huge contributions it receives from Clinton haters. JW contends the loans were a payoff for the Clinton administration's pardon of the Gregory's on a 1982 bank fraud conviction.
With United Shows in bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee seized Rodham's bank account, which contains $142,000. Even though the amount frozen exceeds the questioned amount by $30,000 neither the bankruptcy trustee nor the court are willing to release those funds. Rodham's attorney is appealing the action and a hearing is scheduled for next month.
Rodham's attorney contends that the statute of limitations expired on collecting the unpaid debt. The bankruptcy trustee counters that doesn't matter in bankruptcy law.
