West Virginia Residents Affected by Sequelle - Broadband Scandal
Podcast re: WV government
I’m looking for people to interview for a podcast about events that happened in West Virginia about twenty years ago (Gov. Bob Wise administration). I’ve released five episodes so far, I’m afraid if I list the title it might break guidelines for self promotion. Maybe a mod can advise? I don’t want to break rules.
What happened was a company called Sequelle got federal and state money for a broadband project, which never did what it promised, basically just transferred money to shell companies in Ohio. Sequelle went under and the woman at the center of it, Heidi Laughery, was convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering and narrowly avoided prison.
I’ve made two trips to WV this year to dig through records and interview people. If you know something or would be willing to be interviewed, please reach out.
