I guess he wanted to avoid even more bad press. Sure didn't work out too well for him. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/42200/20060913/karl_malone_accused_of_offering_illegal_bribe/ I'm sorry I know RealGM stories aren't given much respect...But I choose to post it nonetheless. Flame if you must. Sports Illustrated - Former Utah Jazz forward Karl Malone is accused in a lawsuit of offering a former business partner in eastern Idaho a $25,000 bribe to take the blame for an illegal elk hunting trip. The suit filed by Sidney Ray Davis of Soda Springs against Malone's Salt Lake City-based property management firm also alleges that Malone's brother-in-law, Ken Kensey, "threatened physical violence" if Davis didn't make the investigation "go away." Malone's lawyer, Randall Call of Salt Lake City, said the two-time NBA most valuable player "adamantly denies" any bribery or intimidation. He said the lawsuit is frivolous and targets Malone because of his wealth and fame. "We've dealt with this kind of extortion before," Call said. "It's a little like terrorism, you can't buckle into it at any time or else it will prevail." [READ]
Well, I think that is a RealGM news link they got from Sports Illustrated. What people don't respect, I suppose, are the "columns" written by amateur non-paid people.
Damn, I thought they finally discovered all the payments that Karl Malone made to refs that let him and Stockton get away with murder on the basketball court. The New York mafia ain't got NOTHING on Karl Malone's Salt Lake City mafia...
