A week or so ago it was heard that Vic Matson's desk and office was being emptied. Today the rumors are out that Matson has been fired. No argument there that this was long overdue.
It also seems that a BIA representative has taken up residence while he continues his investigation into Fred Paquin's little honesty issue.
Fast Freddie couldn't have done what he did without some inside help. Someone signed the necessary documents to enable Freddie to do what he did. If Matson was not fired or suspended for knowingly participating in a scheme to defraud the tribe then he should be fired for his failure to manage the tribe's finances.
Was Matson stupid, careless or did he know where the tribe was headed? Of course he knew....but did he cover it up and how long has he been covering it and for whom? An investigation could take several months, maybe longer.
I think this could get very interesting but, for the time being, it seems that both Paquin and Matson have been put out to pasture. Is Paquin still getting paid while on suspension or has he been fired too? If Matson has been fired or suspended, did he benefit financially with a contract payout or continuation of pay? Maybe someday the tribal members will know the truth.
