Kitzer Denies Blackmail Claim in Insurance Fraud Trial
Phillip Kitzer Jr. testified in U.S. District Court that he had never blackmailed Minnesota Insurance Commissioner Cyrus Magnusson or paid anyone for coercive acts. He acknowledged Magnusson's secretary and wife were present during other interactions and suggested Magnusson did not provide full truth in insolvency proceedings. The case also links George Hruban and Miles Lord to the wider American Allied fraud. David Yepson was elected governor of Boys State at Camp Dodge in a model-government session with 830 attendees.
