...while her campaign left behind a trail of bounced checks and unpaid vendors. Most people blamed the confusion on Joe. For a man reputed to have a fortune tucked away back East, he was weirdly inept with money. During the campaign it emerged that he had written $60,000 in bad checks to a Salt Lake City luxury-gift store. A mix-up, said Joe. His account in Pennsylvania hadn't been transferred to Utah in time. "There were always explanations,'' says Peter Valcarce, manager of Enid's unsuccessful 1992 campaign and a consultant in 1994, who was paid with...
...that score Joe Waldholtz did a pretty good job. Even now, no one is sure how much he has, or ever had, or how much he may have got by manipulating family, friends and creditors. But everybody wants some answers. Joe, 32, is under federal investigation in an alleged check-kiting scheme that may involve as much as $1.7 million. And Enid, 37, who last week filed for divorce and custody of their infant daughter, now faces questions about what she knew or should have known about her tangled finances...
Those began to unravel in earnest on Saturday, Nov. 11, when Joe disappeared from National Airport in Washington.

His family has gone to court in an attempt to find out what became of $600,000 that belonged to Joe's step-grandmother, 87, whose money Joe was supposed to be investing. As for the existence of a family trust, the elder Waldholtz, a Pittsburgh dentist, says it's news to him. That's bad news for Enid's father, who, according to Enid's statements to investigators, allegedly turned over $4 million...
...however, what you'd call a people person. And therein lies the downfall it takes Casino (or should we call it GoodFellas Go West?) three hours to record. Until it's too late, Sam is entirely too tolerant of his lifelong buddy Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), a cheerful psychopath who is more trouble than he's worth. Sam also falls into distracting obsession with Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone), and that's not good for him or for business either. She's a hustler whose excessive interest in furs and jewels would warn off a more worldly man. As would...
