Billionaire Koch Brothers Sic Super Lawyer On Widow

Get your popcorn ready, this is going to get real interesting.

The billionaire Koch brothers, David and Charles, have hired super lawyer Daniel Crabtree to sue the widow of William Niskanen, Kathyrn Washburn. Niskanen, who passed away in October 2011, was chairman emeritus at the Cato Institute. Between 1985 and 2008, Niskanen was the chairman of the Cato Institute.

The lawyer the Koch Brothers have hired to sue Washburn is a member of the law firm, Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP. The firm is based in Kansas City, home of Koch brothers operations.

Crabtree has been selected to:

Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers 2011
Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers 2010
Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers 2009
Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers 2008
Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers 2007
Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers 2006
Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers 2005

Apparently, Washburn has not returned to the Cato institute the 16 shares that Niskanen held.

According to the Koch brothers in the suit, she is required to return the shares.

    Why? Is she a "poor" widow? Are they her property?
    I believe this is related to Koch v. Cato, not Koch v. poor grieving widow.

  3. Has nothing to do with any widow or even this particular case. They have done much in their past already to warrant it. imho of course.
