His client complied with the terms of the lease agreement with the city, Seki said. “It is probably the strategy of the city to somehow divert attention away from their wrongdoing, their breach of contract, their actions …” - Bill Seki, criminal attorney for William Barkettīill Seki, who represents Barkett in the criminal case, said the city’s allegations are false. SGVWP counter-sued, arguing the city had violated the lease agreement by not allowing the project to continue. Industry sued to try to get its money back. Two subcontractors would later allege SGVWP altered their invoices and inflated billings. Yet, Industry gave SGVWP more than $20 million over two years with little oversight.
At the time, Barkett owed more than $50 million from past defaults. Industry entered into an agreement with SGVWP in 2016 to develop a 450-megawatt solar farm on land known as Tres Hermanos Ranch straddling Diamond Bar and Chino Hills at the intersections of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Orange counties. “But, instead, they went to support a lifestyle.” “We’ve reviewed thousands of pages of documents and they indicate there was a misuse of funds that were supposed to go to the preparation of studies and analyses for the solar project,” said Jamie Casso, Industry’s city attorney.

The city sent out a series of demand letters to Barkett’s wife, son and daughter, as well as his long-time attorney, David Gilmore, requesting they turn over documents and return any funds they purportedly received from two companies tied to Barkett, San Gabriel Valley Water and Power LLC and BMF Limited LLC. Until now, there have been few details on where those funds may have gone.Ī new court filing by Industry, in its separate civil case against Barkett, alleges he used at least $5.3 million from the project to maintain his family’s extravagant lifestyle and to cover money he owed from other failed projects. Prosecutors allege more than $8 million given to Barkett to develop the solar farm on behalf of the City of Industry was instead spent on “personal items.” In September, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged the developer, William Barkett of La Jolla, with embezzlement, grand theft, money laundering and misappropriation of public funds. A simple, classic dress to relax in after lugging around that huge train all day.California developer used stolen taxpayer funds to hire Andrea Bocelli for daughter’s $2 million wedding, Industry alleges Close MenuĪ developer accused of misappropriating up to $20 million from a failed solar project in eastern Los Angeles County allegedly pilfered more than $5 million of the taxpayer money to avoid foreclosure on a La Jolla mansion, pay off old debts to his longtime attorney and finance his daughter’s multimillion-dollar wedding in the French Riviera that featured a $360,000 performance by Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli, according to new court filings. Shouldn’t this be Jay-Z and not some male model? Not even a Jay-Z lookalike? If I were replaced by a hot male model…I wouldn’t know how I’d feel about that…Īnd it’s not a celebrity wedding without some Vera Wang. I wonder if Bey’s real wedding dress had all this? If it was on anyone else, it would scream tacky but she looks straight from a fairytale. Keeps it looking very authentic.Īnd we finally see the wedding dress! Why not wear the biggest, most extravagant, dress at your pretend wedding? It’s a little much for my taste. I love that she’s wearing a dress that was probably from the prom section at Macy’s.
We see why she’s the best thing he’s never had and why he’s crazy for leaving her because she looks exactly the same here, playing age 18, as she was when she was actually 18 back in Destiny’s Child. We flashback to who exactly she’s singing to- her high school sweetheart who let her get away. Although she is pretty much naked, the Princess Leia buns help her seem a little more innocent. We open with very gratuitous shots of a newlywed Beyonce in some white lingerie.
It was refreshing to have such a simplistic take for her second video from her lead video Run The World. After I heard Best Thing I Never Had, I was converted from just a casual Beyonce enjoyer and have never looked back.
It’s fitting that part 4 of my Beyonce series of videos from her album 4 is for the song that turned me fully into a Beyonce fan.
