San Antonio Oil Exec ‘Thumbed His Nose’ at Legal Process, Judge Says
San Antonio oil and gas entrepreneur Brian Alfaro avoided getting hauled off to jail Friday, a day after a bankruptcy judge issued a warrant for his arrest, reports the San Antonio Express-News.
Alfaro had failed to provide various records to a court-appointed receiver, prompting the judge to issue an arrest warrant. But in a hearing in which Alfaro, attending via phone from his lawyer’s office as four federal marshals stood ready to take him to jail, the judge granted him an additional 10 days to comply.
The judge “presided over a trial in 2017 on 28 investors’ claims that they had been defrauded by Alfaro. The judge awarded nine of them $8 million. Alfaro is appealing. Rose’s duties include ensuring that investors collect on the judgment,” writes Patrick Danner of the Express-News.
