Did Clovis Hooper not tell SML?2 Sep 2022 14:02
It seems like a long time ago now since I found Brenda, but if my memory serves me correct, SML told us it took a few months to realise Brenda had stopped collecting the magnetite.
But I now find that very very hard to believe.
2 EXCERTS FROM COURT PAPERS.
(1) On April 1, 2022, the Receiver filed a Complaint against Larry Hooper and Hooper Ranch, seeking to recover damages relating to their sale of certain minerals owned by Receivership Parties being stored on their property, asserting claims for conversion, breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
(2) In or around April 7, 2017, Receivership Party CV Investments entered into a Magnetite Concentrates Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with Southern Minerals Group, LLC (“SMG”) The PSA was signed by Clovis Hooper, on behalf of SMG, and Brenda Smith, on behalf of CV Investments.
It turns out Clovis Hooper who is the president of SMG, is also the son of Larry and Pennie Hooper, who own the ranch where all the magnetite was stored, so he knew exactly what was going on, also Brenda wasn't paying his parents either, so could he not hear the warning bells.
Not only that, but did Clovis help his mam and dad sell all the magnetite?
EXCERT FROM COURT PAPERS.
In total, Larry Hooper/Hooper Ranch sold 36,645.08 tons of magnetite to CalPortland for $1,465,803.20 from February 25, 2019 through May 11, 2020.
It starts getting interesting from page 5, it will ask if you trust this site, but it is OK.
