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?

JS took special privileges & liberties with every institutional component he touched (physical and programmatic components). Why not at the HGI? It’s characterological.
I would expect him to have access routinely through staff he knew who figured he was an important regular and they should be deferential to whatever unregistered room was between customers to “finish up.”
8/10ths mile? Well now we know how he could duck out on Dottie.
You’ll think I’m crazy, and what is research here but checking avenues til they dead end? But remembering Gary Bauer’s role in Reagan/Bush in adoption/foster care regs and crazy family politics, I thought to look for nexus to ORU or PA or Arrow. Just started.
http://www.cufi.org/site/PageServer?pagename=2012Summit_Speakers
Bauer iirc is/was close to Hagee, whose son went to ORU (all listed here). Also has a large TX church; would love to know Tennant’s first TX church after ORU where he made his Republican connections.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gaffney#section_9
I think Pittsburgh’s Gaffney (on list with Hagees/Bauer) is a Fellowship Foundation friend; several speakers are imo.
FF often choses military or security “friends.”
Need to find nexus of crony “family” Republicans with Arrow, with TSM.
Who brokered Arrow entering Md and PA government contracting markets for foster care?
I don’t care what Arrow does re camps and awards ceremonies. I care about the recruiting, licensing, training and supervising of foster parents, and about vetting and supervision of volunteer counselors.
@beejay. I didn’t read far, but I agree with you (&prosecution).
Def can ask for dismissal as a matter of law (past the S of L, or failure to state a claim),
or as a matter of facts –but Def has disputed no evidence in the record to date.
Havent read the pdfs & dont know firsthand.
Phooey. I never paid any attention to these fringe folks like Hagee but to shut off the radio. Now I feel like my home State has been taken over. And the fringe is the mainstream somehow, in religion. One of my sweeping statements.
I don’t plan to go visit TX to find out
I did not realize the implication yesterday that this url on Arrow (p 1 and 6) was a church paper in San Antonio. http://sabeacon.com/sites/default/files/april.pdf
Arrow has backbone foster care program/offices there.
Guess what else? It’s John Hagee ministries’ home base; not to mention his and his ORU son minister’s home mega church Cornerstone. I speculate this is where Arrow’s founding and impetus got its start. He referred to a TX pastor. And I think Hagee was listened to in States like PA and Ohio. Perhaps Arrow was supported in State contracts by Hagee friends like Bauer. And articles by FF friends (Colson, Graham) are in this paper.
Beejay,
I think the prosecution is saying that given any “relief” to Sandusky is not possible because there is no pile of evidence, depositions, testimony, against him due to his waive his rights to a hearing.
He also is not able to make assertions of insufficiency because there is nothing there to impute, refute, or bellyache about.
interesting old irs private letter ruling on Hagee wdbsite:

whew…I’m having trouble with word-endings!
erose, I agree about the BOH crew, including boh management. They know and see so much and do tend to ignore a lot, unless it causes them a bunch more work; mostly they’ll just give a head shake or eye roll and move on.
They know people by sight, may know their cars, can give accurate descriptions, as I’ve needed them to do a number of times, in past hotel work. They’ve even learned to identify the secret shoppers (“they always leave a little jewelry behind for us to turn in…”)
I’m sure Jer was just Big Man on Campus whereever he went and didn’t need anyone’s approval if he acted like he belonged there. Front of House staff may never even see him.
As for showers in the fitness rooms, yes, there is usually a bathroom and a single shower. Not room to play tickle, throw a football, or madly molest a young boy.
And no, staff would not let him into a room to use the shower and change clothes, because it would mean taking it off its ready status, making it vacant-on change, and then they’d have to re-clean it , including vacuuming, possibly changing a damp bedcover, and recovering wet towels. People don’t realize all the things they touch and mess up; use the toilet, etc. Even as a manager, I wouldn’t do it.
This is exactly the kind of setup that Jer liked. He had groomed everyone around him to accept his stealthy behavior as normal.

The town will no doubt confront more unpleasant truths during Sandusky’s trial, set to begin in early June, as well as in an anticipated flood of victims’ cases when the criminal trial concludes, and in several investigations, including one on behalf of the chastened university by former FBI director Louis Freeh. They will hear of alleged crimes against as many as 100 victims; more details about what Paterno knew and when he knew it; and suggestions that Penn State tolerated—perhaps even abetted—Sandusky to protect a football program that generated a $53 million profit in 2011.

Golly, I’m confused. Spanier, with all his expertise in computer security, working in national security now, doesn’t have those 1998-2004 emails? Because…he was told by someone within PSU that the 2004 system change made them irretrievable? But now they’ve surfaced.
Oh, and in his suit, he claimed he thought counsel for PSU was representing him, too. Is that Cynthia? I’m so very confused!
“The suit also said that when Spanier spoke to the grand jury, he was accompanied by an attorney he thought was representing his interests, an apparent reference to Cynthia Baldwin, Penn State’s outgoing attorney.
“However, that counsel later (in 2012) took the position that she, in fact, was representing only the interests of Penn State,” the suit said.”

BTW, IDK who Andrew Rogers’ defense atty was early on, but when he accepted the plea deal, it was a public defender.
Well that is one way to to avoid a conflict of interest allegation for starters-
However, that’s completely absurd. She accompanied several individuals and was the representation of record in grand jury proceedings which were of a criminal matter and her clients, which we already know she was paid to represent, were given limited use immunity. During her representation, her clients allegedly perjured themselves. And that is just what we know about publicly.
Boy, just no shortage of folks trying to flee that speeding locomotive by continuing to run in front of it on the tracks. Did nobody watch Wyle Coyote?

Good job, All!
Rose, I’m sure you’ll think fine on pain killers. Take care and write when you can. The Cornerstone sh*t is slippery–which, of course, Wylie Coyote can lead you round and round. I don’t know if the mainstreams just don’t have the oopmph to fight them or what.
Some folks need to just get honest and get out. Like Ms. Cynthia.
I think Spanier is using this as a strategy to avoid saying another word till Linda Kelly decides for sure whether to charge him. Why should he talk to Freeh when Freeh already has the emails? And Freeh’s report is subject to subpoena just like Abraham’s for TSM was? I didn’t know that could be done myself, but it was.
There’s better info, if correct, reported at philly.com’s article.
On April 25 Spanier’s attys wrote a letter to Freeh asking him to intercede with the university. Snip:
“…we wish to advise that we simply cannot agree to an interview without the necessary documents we know are in existence and which are essential to properly prepare our client.”
…We cannot repeat the episode from last year in which our client was permitted to be interviewed by the Attorney General’s Office and, later, appear in front of a grand jury with absolutely no preparation, including no review of any relevant documents.”
[his attys went on to say that giving him access to his own e-mails should not compromise any investigation and that he's willing to sign a confidentiality agreement.]

Here’s what i was referring to about the subpoena of Abraham’s internal investigation at TSM:
“The Second Mile filed a motion to quash the subpoena the charity received April 10.
The subpoena asks for records about Sandusky and the alleged victims, most notably from the charity’s internal investigation that’s being done by a former Philadelphia prosecutor.

I think this was the moment when Paterno really quit playing ball. He got his own attorney, and told PSU aka Baldwin that he didn’t need her/them, or that she wasn’t there for his best interests. Interesting that Baldwin waited two weeks before telling Paterno. Was she really thinking he couldn’t get his own attorney on short notice?
snip>
And, on Dec. 21, 2010, subpoenas were delivered to the office of Penn State general counsel Cynthia Baldwin seeking the grand jury appearances of Paterno, CFO and university police supervisor Schultz and AD Curley. Baldwin told Paterno of his subpoena nearly two weeks after she had received it and offered to accompany him to the grand jury, where she would be representing Curley and Schultz. Paterno declined the offer, telling her he’d get his own lawyer, sources say.

Recap on Roger’s story.
http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2009/02/27/years_later_controversial_clai.aspx
Centre County Chief Public Defender David Crowley, who represents Rogers, filed an appeal in January 2008 after evidence surfaced a month earlier that Park’s Rolex watch was purchased by Ronnie Starr, who was arrested as part of a separate drug investigation.
Starr said he bought the watch from a cocky, stocky Italian, known only as “B” — who Crowley believes must be Sweet.
“If they were any more identical, you’d have to say that Ronnie Starr broke into the police department and picked out that police report,” Crowley said. “It’s just too bizarre to think that it’s just a coincidence.”
—————
His story alone wasn’t enough to convince the jury, which convicted him of third-degree murder — but new evidence surfaced after Rogers’ trial, suggesting a similarly described man called “B” had sold Park’s $5,000 Rolex watch soon after the murder.
Lunsford ruled Dec. 10 the prosecution had illegally withheld this evidence from the defense and subsequently granted Rogers a new trial.
The autopsy tapes could play a key role in attempts to prove Rogers’ account of his actions is consistent with the injuries suffered by Park.
To this end, the defense was also granted $4,000 for consultation with a new pathologist after Crowley filed a motion accusing the former examiner of changing his testimony on the eve of Rogers’ trial.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Harry Kamerow, who examined Park’s body, first testified at a pretrial hearing the injuries suffered by Park were consistent with Rogers’ account of the sequence leading to Park’s death. However, he later changed his testimony and said Rogers’s account was inconsistent with Park’s injuries, according to a motion filed by the defense.

______________________
So, you, rose, and I are in agreement about what it means. But WHY did super-lawyer Amendola not lay the groundwork for the court to consider giving relief in the future? It’s so easy to do that.
It does lend support to the idea we’ve talked about that maybe the strategy is to throw the trial. Jer is being sacrificed; a fix is in; however you want to think of it. To not do what Amendola didn’t do borders on incompetence, doesn’t it? I’m astounded, really.
Surely there’s some unbelievable brilliant legal strategy behind it?
@erose. While she waited 2 weeks to pass on Paterno’s subpoena, we don’t know she didn’t do that to the others, do we? Interesting they were served at the brginning of Winter Break. Maybe she was in the Bahamas
Paterno had good judgment on this one.
@Beejay. I don’t see the request to review his work products prior to interview as a Spanier “strategy” whether or not Kelly charges him. His attorneys are absolutely correct. PS has no business interviewing him without his attorneys present and adequte time for review of his work product that could corroborate or impeach his statements.
And of course the Freeh document and backup written notes of interviews will be subpoenaed by the AG and GJ. Imo, that’s why these internal investigations were arranged. The institutions were crafting their own defenses as institutions. (Spanier’s kind of in the same situation as Terri in the divorce matter.)
I also read into this Spanier will be suing PS and Baldwin at some point for putting him before the GJ without counsel’s preparation and a work product review lest he incur perjury charges (for verbal statements being at variance with his written docs in office.)
Just found an interesting article interpreting Amendola’s early moves. Am off to read more. Long, but here’s an interesting snip:
“…Gamso explains:
What interests me is what his lawyer, Joseph Amendola, said. Not the part about how a prelim would serve no real purpose because he wouldn’t be allowed to challenge the credibility of the witnesses or about how this is a fight to the death. I’m interested in this statement Amendola made to the press.
Today’s decision was a tactical measure.
Well, sure. I mean, we all know that. But, and here’s the thing, it was inexcusable to say it.
The problem Gamso raises is that this face-saving explanation came at the expense of his client, eliminating any potential for a subsequent argument that Sandusky was not provided effective assistance of counsel. If a decision is “tactical,” even if it’s dead wrong, then it’s got about as much chance of meeting the Strickland prongs as Sandusky has of getting a job babysitting.”
http://blog.simplejustice.us/2011/12/14/amendola-the-tactician.aspx
Baldwin was replaced as GC; good followup choice.
I just don’t think an ORU BA has the ability alone to
create this multistate enterprise and there are outside interests.
I think the PA and MD connections to open licensed programs
are political rather than religious, although churches are used
as a donor base. Churches have always been used as recruiting
grounds for foster parents, at least in the black community.
But the TSM transfer is a way to leave the org without assets for
lawsuit liabilities. They needed a politically bulletproof successor
and found one.
@Blink, to your OAG comment re:Rogers, I have to ask if the state has essentially taken over crime and punishment in Centre County? Rhetorical, I guess, but it sure is starting to look that way.

http://www.arrow.org/site/pa/family/foster-care.html
I’m a Christian but above is a structurally inappropriate mix of church and State.
Kids are consigned to custody by Court order.
Government pays the tab (taxpayers).
This refers to an agency’s structurally imposed “worldview,” “Biblically based foster parent training,” etc.
In re This agency’s mission: What about Jewish kids, Muslims, homosexuals?
A proselytizing world view happens .
Imo State licensing this agency as a government-funded foster care service provider is wrong,
Their program differs from recruiting foster pardnts from church bases.
More “conflict”, wrt why the AG took over the Andrew Rogers case:
“The attorney general’s office will prosecute. Upon taking office in January 2010, District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller handed over the case citing a conflict of interest. Neither she nor the attorney general’s office would elaborate on the nature of the conflict .”
http://www.heraldstandard.com/article_ac36410b-093c-5620-b253-fad01664ca0c.html
Agree. Was there a huge parting of the ways, as in a disagreement of who said what when, as early as Dec 2010? Did Paterno disagree with how things were handled all along, but keep his mouth shut, anyway? Did he consult an attorney way back when and check out his options, and when the stuff hit the fan, he wanted no part of a united defense? Baldwin states she was counsel for PSU, in other words, the BOT.

The state Attorney General’s Office is prosecuting the case. Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller referred the case to the state because of a conflict of interest Rogers had with her office. Parks Miller said she can’t discuss the conflict of interest.

From Beejays link:
About six months after the trial, Rogers’ defense learned that after Park’s death, police arrested a man, Ronnie Starr, who had a Rolex watch that was stolen from Park’s apartment after his death. Starr told police he bought the watch from someone named “B” and gave a description similar to Rogers’ description of Sweet.
beejay says:
May 28, 2012 at 7:14 pm
Crowley, however, is adamant that Starr didn’t steal the watch, and he thinks Madeira may have offered him a deal. Starr recently faced prosecution for DUI, Crowley said, and the public defender is actively trying to get to the bottom of what’s going on between the district attorney, the probation office and Starr’s attorney.
“If the DA himself made the deal, that would be very useful information in this case, and that’s why I filed my motion on Monday,” Crowley said. “Mr. Madeira has made some public and private statements that there weren’t deals to get Mr. Starr out of jail, but I don’t believe that fairy tale.”
http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2009/04/22/lawyer_claims_witness_is_lying.aspx
Attorney General Corbett, DA Madeira, PSP and local officials announce arrests of up to 20 suspected State College drug dealers
Ronnie Starr, Sunny Slopes, Philipsburg, is charged with criminal conspiracy, delivery of cocaine and criminal use of a communication facility.

Madeira said Starr was not charged in the theft case until after Rogers’ trial ended because Starr was assisting police in a separate drug case. He said he sent the order to arrest Starr to police in June 2006, but it was delayed until November, when police ended their relationship with Starr in the drug case.
“Then it frankly sat on the police detective’s desk until it was finally filed in 2007 after the trial,” he said. “It is a matter of a busy police detective that moved on to something else.”
Again with the watch. I can hear a psssst on aisle 12 at Home Depot, “Hey lady, wanna buy a watch?”

Madeira said money was fronted to Chisley “in anticipation of him making the NFL draft, which he, of course, did not.”
“That’s the whole idea of the motive … is that he realized ‘I wasn’t going to make it to the NFL, so I’ve gotta repay these debts somehow,’ ” he added.
The complaint states Carraway was wearing a diamond watch and carrying a wad of cash about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick at the shop. Carraway’s brother and his girlfriend confirmed to police that a JoJo diamond watch, valued between $500 and $1,500, was Carraway’s. Madeira said police did not recover the watch or the cash.

In early November, police discovered Park’s Rolex watch in the possession of Phillipsburg resident Ronnie Starr, who was charged Nov. 8 for receiving stolen property. Starr told police he had bought the watch from a man he met in a bar, whom he remembered being called “B,” according to the criminal complaint. Police said Park was not wearing the watch when he died, but officers later observed it at Park’s apartment, 1003 W. Aaron Drive.
According to court documents, burglars broke into Park’s apartment soon after police discovered his body inside Rogers’s 224 Nimitz Ave. residence and stole the Rolex watch, electronics and other items. The burglary occurred over the 2006 spring break, and police investigated the incident on March 12, 2006.
Crowley said the investigation of the theft centers on the watch. Because the burglars would have had to know that the watch was in the apartment and not at the morgue, Crowley theorizes, they would have had to have been present at Park’s death.

Spanier’s legal problem in getting his own former emails relates to his current employment status at PSU. If you reread his attys’ words you’ll see what they’re trying to work with and lay the groundwork for. In part, that he was misled (wrt Baldwin representing his legal interests; wrt there being no access to emails prior to the system change in 2004–he would’ve had clearer access to his own emails before he “voluntary retired” under contract provision that he did).
After his resignation, he’s on iffier grounds for getting access. Thus, the legal wrangling. He might win, but it’s not a given.
DH deals with this all the time. Who “owns” the digital evidence.
But, Spanier has simply told them he ain’t saying nuthin else (to Freeh) unless they give him the emails he wants. End of story till he’s under oath; and then “can’t remember” except for what he already said to grand jury.
@erose. Not going down the Bush road. Did that with my 1st vote, goodness old age impairs.
going down the political interest transferring TSM assets out of state to a possibly crony organization
rather than preserving for victim.
Now beejay, you’ll see S Lundy “Ministry Leader” as COO seems to play the role of a Clinical Director of these residential foster care homes and treatment facilities, whatever they are, including behavioral treatment plans.
His highest degree is MA in Counseling (a one year non practicuum degree). Now with mental health nonprofits with residential treatment, a clinical director has a PsyD or PhD (psychologist, nurse, etc) or MD. Right beejay?
The closest any “Ministry Team” Admin get is to the woman in MD who is an LCSW (a masters degree level in social work, no special ed or mental health supervised practice in her education or resume).
So it seems to me this residential treatment and or special education mission in Md got licensed thru the foster care group home system not the mental health system and not the special ed systrm.
Further wondering why Mrs Includion the then State Supt of Ed let this happen (she was very good) even though it was run thru State DHS, I saw at the conclusion of Biro’s CV she was actually made head of licensing for State of Md in 2006! Well Grassmick Dept Ed) was an Erlich appointee. Biro’s 2006 appointment would be a very short lived (I hope) lame duck political appointment whom voters dumped from office in Nov 2006. Imo in giving her that political appointment on his way out the door, he was doing an easy favor for whoever had formerly backed Arrow’s entry into Md as an agency during his administration. That’s the only experience she had in Md. Erlich is currently campaign chair for Mitt. So who was it? From Fla? from Texas? From Jeb or Neil or Barbara? From Ridge? Anyway, the foster care licensing system was imo an end run around the mental health or ed systems at the State level for res treatment. all this is mere opinion. can look for facts if you choose assets be preserved for victoms. Plenty of camps are out there, Judge.
sorry Mrs Inclusion for Special Ed in Md was under Erlich and a bit longer Nancy Grassmick State Supt of Ed.
@beejay. In a sense, Spanier deserves his fate having failed to bcc his emails to self as
he went along all those years.
IMO Hubris alone had him testify at GJ without a records review.
Any fool would’ve said “I don’t recall.”
I love irony.

@rose: Here’s the thing. IDK what the target population is that Arrow’s Baltimore 90-day diagnostic center is going for. Because, that facility does NOT have JCAH accreditation. Now, maybe they’re just taking temporarily “displaced” kids, who aren’t emotionally disturbed–other than say, as a “adjustment reaction” type of problem.
And, even if they were taking potentially more disturbed kids, if their funding sources don’t require JCAH accreditation, then they don’t necessarily have to have what I’d consider the proper accreditation. But that means their funding for those placements is not coming from most insurance cos. Makes me very nervous, though, because caseworkers, when desperate for a temporary placement, have been known to downplay how seriously disturbed the kid is.
