The Nittany Nightmare Continues: More Financial Incest At PSU- Accused Perjuror Gary Schultz Head of Nittany Insurance Pays First Victim Payout AND His Lawyers
State College, PA & Burlington, VT- In the latest example of financial incest involving PSU, The Second Mile, and a bevy of double-dipping board members and executives, we arrive at the first discovery between an accused suspect in the case and his principal interest in an insurance company that recently paid out a settlement to an alleged victim of Jerry Sandusky. As the filing has likely been sealed as a condition of it’s settlement, it is unknown if Schultz or anyone else within PSU in addition to Sandusky was named in the civil action.
Gary C. Schultz, interim Sr. VP for Finance and Business returned following previous retirement from PSU this past July.
His return to the PSU payroll around the time that a grand jury was meeting about his possible complicity, FOLLOWING his own alleged perjurious testimony begs the question-As Schultz knew he was under investigation as well as Sandusky and Curley-
Did Schultz come out of retirement in anticipation of incurring significant legal fees he did not want coming out of his own pocket?
You read that correctly.
Mr. Schultz, who along with Tim Curley were bound over for trial at their preliminary hearing on perjury charges and a misdemeanor failure to report summons last month, is being provided legal representation costs through Nittany Insurance Company, where he is a paid Director. According to Acting President Erickson, it will also be used to cover any civil settlements and judgements in the Sandusky debacle et al.
This would seem to be in violation of the Vermont Captive Insurance Regulations Section 12, or conflict of interest.
In a letter sent to Penn State Interim President Rodney Erickson, Senator Michael Stack (D) Philadelphia, expressed his concern that taxpayers and donors should not be footing the bill for the Universities necessary legal representation for the various civil and criminal issues and potential settlements.
In a response to Senator Stack, President Erickson assured him that such costs would be accommodated by it’s liability insurance. Nittany Insurance Company is listed as the professional liability insurance company of record on the PSU site as well as the provider for PSU students in programs including the Hershey Medical Center.
President Erickson did not reference Mr. Schultz’s directorship position within Nittany Insurance Company although www.blinkoncrime.com was able to confirm with the Vermont Secretary of State that as of this afternoon, there are no pending changes to its registration.
Gary Schultz’s co-director at Nittany Insurance Company, is Allan Anderson, Former VP and Chief Executive Officer for Hershey Medical Center.
While the captive insurance firm is self-administered, as Director, Schultz would be in a position to review, award, accept, negotiate or reject settlements within the framework of their contract with PSU and appropriate regulatory requirements. Captive insurance companies are often developed as part of a risk mitigation strategy and as an entree to the reinsurance market for payouts exceeding a fixed amount. Registered in Vermont, Nittany Insurance Company was formed in 1993.
It would seem a good starting point for questions on the regulatory and compliance matter might be how the bid is/was awarded for initial self-administered liability coverage directed by a potential party and what the premiums, which are deductible to PSU, were and are?
What adjustments to same have been made in relation to the known incidents and corresponding dates alleged against Sandusky, Curley and Schultz?
What else is Nittany Insurance funding it may have had ample heads up about?
Does Schultz have a poster of Ken Lay in the top of his humidor? Bernie Madoff?

@rose: the Treasurer is Patty F’s cousin. I checked it at more than one source, but here’s one we’re familiar with:
“Ms. Fornicola’s uncle, the late Gino Fornicola (the only member of the family I’ve ever met or spoken to), a prominent businessman, served as Mayor of Bellefonte (1982-6) and was elected as County Treasurer in 1985, the same year Mr. Gricar was first elected District Attorney. He was succeeded by his son, Richard Fornicola, the current County Treasurer.

Link also cites Amendola’s latest “success” in getting contact info. . now on, a spot on sex abuse in Dutch Catholic church re castration as punishment for boys blowing the whistle on clergy higher up’s abuse.

Imo his litigation aggression to victims will be his legacy to football.
Forgive me, it’s late. I see that Thal and DZ were both referred to as detectives. But some local elsewhere had said only Thal was and that he was the most experienced person. So, IDK.
More specifically, Gricar was seen on April 14, 2005 at 7 points Marina at Raystown Lake. That’s in the same area as Juaniata College–Huntingdon PA.

Mr. Sandusky and Mr. Gricar have a mutual aquaintance there, iirc.

Eventually, I’ll either fall asleep typing, or will succeed in posting what I think might be useful. Lol.
snipping a section from post #15 in Dec 2011:
“Usually, the max. number of people who can be involved in a murder and not snitch out of personal need, and assuming that those involved aren’t also dead, is 2-3 people.
Thus far, I have read about 1) Penn State money and power
2) Sandusky specifically
3) T. Corbett
4) a drug lord
5) Someone in power who made Cindy Song disappear and
6) Organized crime
as being responsiible for Ray Gricar being missing and that the reason he is missing is because some experts killed him, hid the body, and then staged the scene.
You want to know who I think could do the murder, body disposal and staging the best and possibly alone or with one other person? Someone in Law Enforcement. Someone very close to Ray Gricar….”
This is at TruTV, and lest I lose it, the link will be in just a minute in my next post.
Here’s one account of the highlights of Gricar’s day on April 14, 2005. The midday trip to Raystown Lake is said to be about a 3-hour drive from the Bellefonte area.

Hershey Trust abuses and sham investigations
Posted on March 17th, 2012
“ Sadly, these Pennsylvania Attorneys General have a shameful record of protecting the beneficiaries of the Hersheys’ $8 billion legacy, the at risk children who can be characterized as the lambs. Certainly, the at risk children of the Second Mile charity can also be considered lambs. Koons and Sandusky fall into the obvious wolf category, but what about the guardians who look the other way when the lambs are attacked? Not exactly the good shepherds.”
http://newslanc.com/category/penn-statesanduskycorbett/
After reading this summary, my guess is that Agent Sassano got the ball rolling and Acting PA DA William Ryan was in the right place for a very short time to keep it rolling on Sandusky. The perfect storm for an otherwise decades long cover up.
As for Madeira, his mentors are most likely Fisher, Zimmerman and/or Corbett, but things probably go up the food chain from there.
It seems that both parties are dipping into “the chocolate” and there may be no end in sight to really clean up this problem. Those poor (former) kids.
snip>
There is significant evidence indicating that former AG Zimmerman has benefited directly from money meant for at risk children in Hershey. Zimmerman’s money from the Hersheys’ legacy has been in the form of astronomical compensation for minimal service on the various Hershey boards and free use of Trust venues and amenities. The AG regulated Hershey boards and apparently the Second Mile Charity’s Board have been cash cows for unscrupulous politicians and their cronies.
Overwhelming documentation supports the contention that Pennsylvania officials have abetted crony misconduct for years resulting in harm to at risk children. Childcare advocates have sought remedies in the courts and elsewhere for years — all to no avail. The investigations sought by childcare advocates into the dysfunction and asset misuse in Hershey have gone nowhere. MHS Alumni sponsored reform gains, won in the Pennsylvania Appellate Court, were reversed by the politically connected and patronage-motivated Pennsylvania Supreme Court. At risk children in Hershey, State College and other communities in Pennsylvania continue to be harmed because of the willful neglect of those charged with their care. Their advocates’ pleas for help continue to fall on the deaf ears of State officials who have abdicated their legal authority and obligation to remedy this harm to children. Childcare advocates have no one in a position of authority to appeal to for help in Pennsylvania.

Gino started his career in Ohio. (looking for interesting things about Ohio)
And, the Fornicola men have been Centre Cty Treasurer since the mid 1980s, when Gino got that position. His son (Patty’s cousin) followed him as Treas. and still is, IIRC.

“…The person I believe that took over the drug smuggling is a high profile person thats no longer with us. I believe when the Clinton scandal arose and much of it covered up involving the mena airport, a torch would be handed over to someone capable of supplying another rural airport. One that could hide what was coming in -inside the military storage units at the least used airport. A powerhouse figure that nobody would expect. A person who had enough power to get earmarks even when the presid- was opposed. he got his way each and everytime and nobody understood how. He had ties to Penn and was facing ethics corruption at which was closed after his death. PMA among other contractors was investagated and found to have multiple wrong doings. Money for campaigning was always given back to him. Fraudlent names of donators was even found including a few contractors who got earmark money that have a drug charge history. Ray IMO did not go to the 7 point marina at the lake for nothing (the day before he disappeared). I have someone in mind that he met. Thats as far as I am….”

What may superficially seem a noble offer for Penn State to offer free counseling to alleged child-abuse victims, seems to be not only too little too late, but could be a serious conflict of interest, depending on the types of civil suits emerging.

Wait. It sounds even worse because they’ve hired an outside, Risk Management company to do the soft-peddling–I mean counseling.
“The university Wednesday described the arrangement with Praesidium Inc., an abuse risk management company, as a way to fulfill a commitment made by school officials after Sandusky was charged in November.” Wait, again. Did I miss some offer in November?

Doctor facing teen-sex charges
Police say cohort lured boys with drugs
Saturday, November 10, 2001
By Tom Gibb, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
ALTOONA — Investigators say that Gilbert Stevenson rounded up the teen-age boys that 54-year-old physician Barry Bender tried to talk into sexual encounters.
Stevenson is accused of rounding up drugs, too, from Ecstasy to cocaine, for Bender to use in plying the youngsters.
And for his efforts, according to charges filed yesterday, Bender doled out $200,000 to his 27-year-old associate.
“Gilbert Stevenson was making $300 to $500 a kid for the kids he brought in,” Anthony Sassano, a narcotics agent with the state attorney general’s office, said yesterday. “The guy’s only held a job for two months in two years.”
http://www.post-gazette.com/regionstate/20011110doctor1110p3.asp
Exactly the kind of organized activity we are looking for.

@Word Girl: Yes, PSU made a statement about free counseling for victims months ago. Whether or not that constituted an “offer” legally–well, IDK.
Then, and now, that is such a legal fubar that it can ONLY be intentional. PSU’s counsel can’t possibly be that inept. IMO the “offer” is being made only to work to either the PR or future legal-quagmire advantage of PSU. The victims, if they have attys, will stay far away from it. Let a court order PSU to pay for their counseling as part of a civil suit settlement or damages award.
Third party payment for the kind of psychological services victims need (IMO) has virtually dried up. Years ago. It drove a lot of private practitioners out of their practices and into managed-care where they provided short-term counseling only. (And psychiatrists have become pill-pushers for the same $ reasons.) That can’t begin to address what these victims need. Nor will shoving them into a group without any individual therapy.
Off soapbox. I’ve waited months to say it.
@erose: TY. I’ll do some reading today.
“…As far as Ray being at Raystown, if you go there especially to the seven points marina you will find it no secret that he did. IMO he embarked on same fellow that I did. Its not just your average Joe but the man with the weird nickname that I wondered who he was for years ( a legand). Firefly a psychic spoke about him on this case and its a bingo to me. He spoke of his gait and described that as a sailors gait. He also spoke about him being like a navy radio man in his past. I don’t about that but he definately uses a radio CB comunication device.”
Same poster also said her (psychic?) clue involving sunbursts also related to this man because of the gear he uses. At the marina.
Any ideas?

Excellent analysis of the counseling offer, Beejay.
I wasn’t aware of how dire the counseling profession’s situation had become.
I sniffed that PSU “offer” correctly, then. I agree that the victims need to demand payment for long-term counseling in their quest for civil settlement.

I want toknow who owners are, when incorporated, what govt entities contract with them, etc. My fantasy is friends of Freeh.
I knocked around in my metro area a long time. True experienced sex abuse victim phd psychologists and child psychiatrist specialists are rare, and these vics deserve nothing less.
If PS was sincere, they’d just indemnify the bills of the treating professional of the vics’ choice.

I don’t know how much rumor we want, but with B’s okay, I’m willing to explore a bit.
“This bust was rumored in the SC legal circles to point straight at Mifflin Co. officials. What I heard through some lawyer friends who practice/practiced in Centre County was that Mifflin Co. essentially had a Boardwalk Empire situation going on where the political machine was running production and distribution of narcotics in and through the county and Gricar uncovered this information. There were some heavy hitters from NYC and Philly allegedly involved and when Gricar was rumored to be turning his investigation over to the FBI they took him out.”
same trutv link as B gave us and I can’t get to post. This is post #387 there, on 2-2-12 (thread 303734-pg 10). There’s a link at the end of that post to an article of interest. Because some of these posters are locals who know local lawyers and such, I’m willing to look at the rumors.

I think we heard awhile back that the Postal Inspector was gonna get in on this. Sara G has an article today. And of all the 200-or-so crimes that Second Mile could be investigated for, oddly the one that grips me at the moment is money laundering. This is rich! And I could be totally wrong.

@beejay. I thought mail fraud was an excellent expeditious way for government to make a RICO case.
also, as an aside, if they were frequent direct mailers, look to see who owns the direct mail business TSM contracted with.
I have no idea if the Lake Raystown trip is significant or not.
The Mini was spotted by a boat landing there. He was there around 10:30-11:00 AM. The closest landing was about an hour’s drive for a regular person, so he could have made it in less time. The meeting ended after 8:45 AM and he could have easily made it even to the far end of the lake by that time.
The witness was a doctor.
RFG might have driven back in the mid-afternoon.

If you want something convincing, if you follow my hint book your fishing tour guide with the legendary…… trust me you will know it when you think back to things I’ve mentioned on another board. If you decide to go one day get a hold of me and I will explain the specifics. The what to do’s and the don’ts. Also please stop by the bait shop closest near the marina. Its got some interesting signs that if you remember what I’ve talked about, well lets just say it will surprise you. At the marina you can rent a houseboat and they do a quiz test that allows you to drive the houseboat. I recommend a week. Your tour guide will pick you up (get the right one hint hint) at the houseboat. You can do day or all night if you like. If I had the money I would gladly help you to do this. My trip was paid for. Why would I like to do this for you? Its simple, you will find the 4-14-2005 will take on a whole new meaning. Thats important to me because you blog on this and researched some of this. You can then make us understand why Ray went there on a work day and possibly why he came back from there NOT stress free but annoyed. Trust me it will make sense if you follow the right hints. See JJ no one, I don’t mean here is really listening. If you experienced it then they would have to listen. Im tired of talking and writing and its useless IMO. I don’t mean on here.

TX in 50s:
My cousin’s fa-in-law was road commissioner for Tarrant Cty.
Now that was equivalent then to chair of House appropriations now.
Lucrative & controlled the County because every farm & developer wanted roads.
There was a judge in Ft Worth with a red lite operated by his foot pedal.
he’d tell defendants every time it lit up it meant they were lying.
Yes I remember Billie Sol.
Dallas Cty, my home, was all patronage. Political patronage was intermingled with society, charities & hospital boards, the DAs office, judiciary (until federal judge Sarah ? was appointed by lbj, & the money flow (banks, cotton, land) exactly like this Centre County bunch. and smu was the school, embedded in the neighborhood & religion (my family were all methodists then). Centre Cty seems to be mostly catholic, maybe presby. Same fusion of politics, judicial system/DA, hospital boards & other charities, banking, & development.

John Miller- initial contact within Centre County CPS.
John Lauro- Regional Porgram Dir, Harrisburg CPS

@rose: yes. The company was incorporated as Paris Business Forms in 1964. Dominic P. Toscani, a lawyer, became its president in 1972.
Remember we were wondering why Jer and Toscani were the only 2 members on that co’s auditing committee? Toscani involved w/ TSM. And, IIRC, Paris Bus Forms (maybe diff version of name) involved in production of those Nittany tips football cards or something? Somebody can do a better job on this than me right now. But, yes, same suspicious characters.

If anyone can find an authoritative reference to Gricar/maybe just his mini being seen at Raystown Lake/Dam/7 points Marina in late morning of April 14, I’d love to see it. Right now I’m questioning it because I’ve found one poster on a blog saying “we only have that one reference to it”. And I have James Renner saying, and I think the Sporadic Gricar blogger quoting him, saying that Det DZ said it. But I see not to whom. Is that just a rumor? Or, um, mistake made by some blogger ???
agreed- I have not.

Not trying to imply this authoritative but the witness is described to be a doctor or one type or another. Through my reading, it got my attention that Raystown was a known hang out for affluent older gay men.
snip>
At some point during the day a witness who knew Mr. Gricar saw him at Lake Raystown. The time has not been disclosed. The witness has been identified as a “Doctor,” though it has not be been stated that it was a physician that treated Mr. Mr. Gricar or even a physician. There are a fairly large number of people with an academic degree of “doctor,” such as a Doctor of Philosophy, in Centre County, many associated with Penn State. The “Doctor” may not be a physician.
