Swindled ag co-op looking for payback
In an ongoing attempt to clean up the mess from a massive financial swindle, an Ashby agricultural co-op is seeking more than $125,000 from local vendors whom it claims should have known they were being paid fraudulently.
Ashby Farmers Cooperative Elevator Co. is suing Skjeret Concrete of Fergus Falls and Tri-County Foam Insulation of Alexandria. In court documents, the co-op said both companies did work on the personal home of the co-op's manager, Jerry Hennessey, and were paid with checks drawn on the co-op's business account.
