Hillary and Tina cover the Keating Five and former Burleigh County Sheriff Alexander McKenzie.
Hillary’s Story
Charles Keating’s Lincoln Savings and Loans faced insolvency due to changing tax rates and found a way to avoid Federal Regulators. But, when Keating’s avoidance tactics connect to five high profile senators, their reputation along with the accounts risk bankruptcy.
Tina’s Story
Alexander McKenzie served as sheriff of Burleigh County, North Dakota from 1874-1886 and committeeman from North Dakota for twenty one years, but when tasked to monitor gold mines in Alaska, his greed for gold took hold as he took over full production of the mines for his own profit.
