The two firms Hochuli & Company and Widious & Company reportedly held 18000 in capital with Hochuli and Widious each at 5500, Frey 4100, Liebler 2900. A July 28 agreement allegedly swapped Hochuli’s stock and real estate to Widicus in Hochuli’s absence. Hochuli refused November 1 to accept the deal. The Blaine suit seeks 5000 in damages. only a praecipe has been filed there so far.
