One Wife Knows What She’s Worth
In Tangier a man offered Liz Barton of Leight $3754 for her, while her husband Terry joked they should not take the offer. The report mixes this odd anecdote with an extended, dense corporate and political legal narrative involving Duncan, National Bankers, Union Bankers Life, foreclosures, IRS probes, and jumbled references to Humphrey and Nixon campaign finance activity and related lawsuits. The piece weaves a personal anecdote into a broader set of finance and legal entanglements surrounding Duncan and associated firms.
