DEFENDANT’S WITNESS
Special Master appointed by Judge Kevin Chang to investigate Bishop Estate in EQ2048.
Richards & Luke
2700 Pauahi Tower
Honolulu, HI 96813
Fax: 808-536-5117
Robert Richards is expected to testify regarding his appointment by Judge Kevin Chang of Hawaii’s 1st Circuit Court as a master in charge of reviewing spending records and other filings by the five Bishop Estate trustees in EQ2048. In particular, Mr. Richards will be asked to comment on his finding that, “The conclusion of this master (is) that no stone would be left unturned by the trustees in attempting to silence their critics. ... There was a constant effort made, nearly always unsuccessful, to take steps to silence of discredit what was perceived to be the ‘opposition,’ whether that was an employee, a reporter, the attorney general, a judge or a master.”
In his report, Richards also said that Bishop Estate spent considerable trust funds researching the free-speech limitations of senior U.S. District Judge Samuel King, an outspoken critic of the trust, and looked into possible remedies against Bobby Harmon, the former head of the estate’s insurance subsidiary, in an apparent attempt to silence criticism.
Robert Richards also is expected to testify regarding the hiring of outside law firms by Nathan Aipa in for “inappropriate legal work” in connection with EQ2048, and with regard to the IRS audits of the Estate. In particular, Mr. Richards is expected to testify regarding the work of law firms of Ashford & Wriston; Cades Shutte Fleming & Wright; McCorriston Miho Miller & Mukai; Miller & Chevalier, and Morgan Lewis & Bockius.
