- “Wilkins said EPTC contacted him about one year ago with concerns its intellectual property was being stolen through a relationship between Flatirons and Lovell, Wyoming. Through a series of public records requests and the assistance of a private investigator, Wilkins said he determined such concerns had “some meat on the bone.”
- While the Lovell deal fell through in February, further investigation revealed Flatirons was in talks with Evansville, Casper and Glenrock, Wilkins said. He said each of these cities were represented by Iberlin, which prompted public records requests to learn the extent of the cities’ involvement with Flatirons.
- “Answers were not necessarily timely nor complete,” Wilkins said of the responses to his requests. “Even a disinterested observer could very well reach the conclusion that the [response] was intended to make it look like Glenrock was not doing business with Flatirons.”
