Danville native Arnholt Smith Into Survivor Amid Collapse
In San Diego the 77 year old Arnholt Smith faces a ruined Westgate California empire once controlling more than 60 companies. Receivers battle to keep afloat his vast holdings as lawsuits, fines, and tax claims mount. His private bank failed, his hotel was sold, and he lives in La Jolla after a life of social prominence and lavish parties.
