Rollins-family finances can create a tangled web, but we do know this: Sherry Rollins and her daughters are on food stamps in Alabama because of the paltry support sum ordered by Judge Crowson. And public documents indicate Michele Rollins played a prominent role in making that happen. We also know that Ted and Michele Rollins are very much aware that their relatives in Alabama are on food stamps; we know that because I notified both of them via e-mail. Neither one of them seems to give a damn because they have done nothing about it.
When I questioned Ted Rollins about the Rollins divorce case, he said--in so many words--that it was litigated long ago, his ex wife received a fair hearing, and it's all a private matter anyway.
That, of course, is a bunch of horse feces. Sherry Rollins' appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court was denied in 2008, which isn't that long ago. The case could not be lawfully heard in Alabama, so it clearly was not handled in a fair fashion. And it was litigated in courts that are funded by taxpayers, including me, so it is a public matter.
As for Michele Rollins, she asked voters to make her a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, helping to form policy that affects all Americans. Clearly, her affairs are a matter of public interest.
The public has every right to ask, "Do Ted and Michele Rollins conduct their business in a fair, honest, and open way?" When a reasonable person looks at matters connected to RMT Trust and the Rollins v. Rollins divorce case, he can conclude that the answer is no.
Best we can tell, someone is playing fast with the facts on matters of the family trust. It seems Michele Rollins fudged regarding her financial disclosure forms, in an effort to disguise her true wealth. Or Ted Rollins fudged regarding Michele Rollins' control over his trust funds, in an effort to reduce his family-support payments. Which one was it?
Either way, the Rollinses appear to be sending disturbing messages about the business methods that make them one of the nation's wealthiest families.
In an effort to clear up confusion, I sent several questions regarding RMT Trust to Ted Rollins, with a copy to Michele Rollins. I received no response to my queries, which can be viewed below.
