State Senator a Media Mogul?

On Friday August 14, the San Antonio Express News published the following article about the esteemed State Senator from District 25 (North San Antonio, South Austin and four adjoining counties):

Sen. Wentworth is linked to Web pyramid scheme (Follow the link and read the entire article, post comments and pass it on)

Two items of note:

“BurnLounge is operating a pyramid scheme. Such schemes have an intolerable capacity to mislead,” the FTC said in its lawsuit.

“That's news to me,” Wentworth said Thursday.


What was it that surprised Jeff? Was he surprised BurnLounge was a scam or that he got caught? One would think that a competent attorney and proficient legislator could discern the difference between a legitimate investment and a fraudulent scheme.

According to the interview, Wentworth said he was brought into BurnLounge by a lobbyist for the Texas Automobile Dealers Association.


This raises three questions:

Did this lobbyist also make a substantial donation to Jeff's war chest?

What other lobbyists bought "memberships" from Jeff?

What else does Jeff do for Lobbyists without reading the fine print?
