But a Texas legal battle that could also have grave political consequences for Coleman doesn’t seem likely to be resolved any time soon.
Just days before the November election, Paul McKim filed an incendiary lawsuit against longtime Coleman patron Nasser Kazeminy in Harris County District Court. It accused Kazeminy and his business associates of financially sabotaging the company that McKim founded, Deep Marine Technology. It also accused Kazeminy of trying to funnel $100,000 to Coleman through a Minneapolis insurance firm where his wife worked.
An almost identical allegation was made in a separate lawsuit filed in Delaware. B.J. Thomas, the former chief financial officer for Deep Marine Technology, has since corroborated parts of the allegations in a deposition stemming from the Texas case. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also investigating the relationship between Coleman and Kazeminy.
