Beefalo king Bud Hemphill jailed for fraud
Oliver Bud Hemphill aged 55 was booked at Mendocino County jail on 61 felony counts. District Attorney Duncan James and Sheriff Tom Jondahl reported large-scale insolvency involving creditors in Marin and Mendocino Counties tied to Hemphill and his European operations. Funds totaling hundreds of thousands were alleged to have been misappropriated from numerous victims including an Italian senator, with many investors unreachable abroad. Hemphill’s EuroPacific Beefalo venture and related associates face extensive legal action as authorities continue investigations and court appearances.
