最新报道:Oak View Group co-founder Timothy Leiweke is facing up to 10 years in prison for allegedly rigging bids on a $250 million renovation project for Seattle's KeyArena. The U.S. Department of Justice claims Leiweke conspired to suppress competition by secretly coordinating bids with a rival firm during the 2018 redevelopment tender. Prosecutors allege this scheme defrauded the city of Seattle, which owns the venue now known as Climate Pledge Arena. The arena later became home to the NHL's Seattle Kraken and WNBA's Seattle Storm. Leiweke, who left Oak View in 2020, denies the charges through his attorneys. The case highlights growing scrutiny of bid-rigging in major sports facility projects.
