Virginians to lose $1.2M

NEW YORK — Rep. Owen B. Pickett (D-2nd) seven state legislators and a Tidewater bank board chairman, are among 25 prominent Virginians who stand to lose up to $1.2 million in the bankruptcy of a group of long-distance telephone businesses, according to a Norfolk newspaper.

Citing papers filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-Star reported Sunday the largest Virginia investors in a group of partnerships linked to Telecom Management Co. were Rep. Pickett, Virginia Beach developer Thomas C. Kyrus, and former 2nd District Democratic Chairman C. Roger Malbon. The paper said Rep. Pickett has already sold interest at a loss.

Each of the three invested $110,000.

The seven state lawmakers — Sen. William T. Parker (D-Chesapeake) Sen. Johnny Joannou (D-Portsmouth), Sen. Richard J. Holland (D-Isle of Wight), Sen. Dudley J. Emick Jr. (D-Fincastle), Sen. Edward M. Holland (D-Arlington), Del. Frederick H. Creekmore (D-Chesapeake), Del V. Thomas Forehand Jr. (D-Chesapeake) — put between $10,000 and $50,000 each into the businesses, and John L. Gibson II, chairman of the board of Dominion Bank of Greater Hampton Roads, invested $60,000.
