David Duke campaign contributor Vaughn Miller threatens lawsuit

By Lynda Carson — September 21, 2017

In the face of incontrovertible documentation revealing him to be a campaign contributor to KKK fascist David Duke, wealthy Dallas real estate mogul Vaughn Miller, threatens lawsuit after being outed as a campaign contributor to David Duke’s failed 2016 Senate campaign.

According to wikipedia, David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is an American white nationalist, politician, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier, convicted felon, and former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

The recent violent white supremacist rally that David Duke attended in Charlottesville, has resulted in blood in the streets of Charlottesville, and the death of Heather Heyer when she was run down by an alleged Nazi sympathizer while she was protesting against the KKK, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists. Reportedly, 19 others were injured when the Nazi sympathizer plowed into a crowd of peaceful demonstrators.

Public records reveal that Vaughn Miller is a proud supporter of David Duke, and that he gave $1,000 to David Duke’s failed Senate campaign during 2016.

In an overview of Vaughn Miller by Corporation Wiki, it reveals that Vaughn Miller is connected to many corporations, including 5706 E. Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, Texas. The same address listed for Vaughn Miller’s $1,000 campaign contribution, to David Duke’s failed Senate campaign of 2016.

The Texas, Secretary Of State (SOS) document number 0801767544 for 5706 E MOCKINGBIRD LANE, DALLAS, TX 75206, also matches the same SOS number for Vance C. Miller Company, LLC, owned by Vaughn E. Miller.

On September 20, 2017, Vaughn Miller sent the following email:

Hi Lynda Carson,

Please delete this false story about me that wrote, its false, I never donated to David Duke or any other campaign:  https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/09/20/18803058.php

Be advised I will take legal action against you if it's not removed in 24 hours.

Thank you

Despite the incontrovertible documentation revealing Vaughn Miller to be a campaign contributor to KKK fascist David Duke’s failed 2016 Senate campaign, in response to being outed as a campaign contributor to David Duke, Vaughn Miller also had his VCM Real Estate Fund website shut down earlier today.

However, the archived VCM Real Estate Fund website is available with the Way Back Machine.

In response to a September 20, 2017, article called “Nonprofit organizations accept donations from David Duke campaign contributor,” in the comment section of the story, someone who also allegedly claims to be Vaughn Miller, made a statement claiming that this is a Fake News story.

It reads; STATEMENT BY VAUGHN MILLER: Hello, this is Vaughn Miller and this is my statement regarding this FAKE NEWS story. My lawyer and accountant have made statements stating that I have never donated to David Duke. Furthermore I HAVE DISAVOWED the KKK, David Duke and any related groups. I am a Trump supporter and voted for Trump, however I DO NOT support the KKK or Duke. I do not know who this person is writing this false story or why she is attacking me but I can assure everyone that this is FAKE NEWS. Please do not let this horrible woman intimidate you. Stand up for what is right and don't buy into false stories. My legal team is working on having this site taken down and recovering damages that this story has caused me and my family.

Sincerely,
Vaughn Miller

If this was really Vaughn Miller claiming that this was Fake News, he failed to explain how his name is on record with the Federal Election Commission as a campaign contributor to David Duke. Indeed, he also failed to explain how an overview of Vaughn Miller by Corporation Wiki, linked him to 5706 E. Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, Texas. The same address listed for Vaughn Miller’s $1,000 campaign contribution, to David Duke’s failed Senate campaign of 2016.

As a proud supporter of David Duke’s failed Senate campaign in 2016, wealthy Dallas real estate mogul Vaughn E. Miller, has also been giving donations to some nonprofit organizations, including Children’s Advocacy Center, Wipe Out Kids Cancer, Bryan's House, Special Olympics Texas, Family Gateway, Project Transformation, North Texas Food, and The Family Place.

There has not been any response at all from the nonprofit organizations that were sent emails revealing that Vaughn Miller contributed $1,000 to David Duke’s failed Senate campaign in 2016, including Bryan’s House, Wipe Out Kids Cancer, The Family Place, Special Olympics Texas, Project Transformation, or North Texas Food Bank.

None of the nonprofit organizations appear to be outraged, or concerned. They have not come forward to make any kind of statement claiming that they want to distance themselves from Vaughn Miller, because of his campaign contribution to KKK fascist David Duke. No one replied to claim that they take it seriously, or are concerned that they have been accepting money from a supporter of KKK fascist David Duke.

In other claims stating that this is Fake News, allegedly from the lawyers for Vaughn Miller and his accountant, in the comment section of an article called “Nonprofit organizations accept donations from David Duke campaign contributor,” they stated:

This is FAKE NEWS
by Accountant of Vaughn Miller

This is FAKE NEWS, as the accounting firm representing Mr Vaughn Miller we can confirm that he has NEVER donated to Mr Duke. This kind of lie is hurtful to both our client and the wonderful charities he has raised money for. The writer of this story should be ashamed and the owners of this website should delete this FAKE NEWS thread immediately.

Regards,
Accounting firm for Mr. Vaughn Miller

Indeed, if this were really the lawyers or accountants for Vaughn Miller claiming that this was Fake News, they failed to post the name of the firms involved. And they failed to explain how Vaughn Miller’s name is on record with the Federal Election Commission as a campaign contributor to David Duke. Indeed, they also failed to explain how an overview of Vaughn Miller by Corporation Wiki, linked him to 5706 E. Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, Texas. The same address listed for Vaughn Miller’s $1,000 campaign contribution, to David Duke’s failed Senate campaign of 2016.

It appears that when faced with incontrovertible documentation that reveals that Vaughn Miller made a $1,000 campaign contribution to David Duke’s failed 2016 Senate campaign, the best that Vaughn Miller and his defenders could do is to threaten legal action, and to claim that this is Fake News. This all sounds very similar to the stupid tactics of the liar in chief at 1600 Pennsylvania, Avenue, in Washington D.C.

Vaughn E. Miller, President and CEO of Vance C. Miller Company LLC, is a wealthy real estate mogul in Dallas, Texas. He can be seen pictured in a photo with Prince Charles, of England.

According to the website for the VCM Real Estate Fund, Robert Yurglich is Managing Partner of Spicer Jeffries LLP, the independent auditing firm and CPA for the VCM Commercial Real Estate Fund.

“Robert Yurglich, is Managing Partner of Spicer Jeffries LLP, the independent auditing firm and CPA for the VCM Commercial Real Estate Fund.  Bob began his career with one of the three largest international accounting firms in 1972. Prior to forming Spicer Jeffries LLP, he was the managing partner of the Denver office of Spicer & Oppenheim (formerly Oppenheim, Appel, Dixon & Co.), a firm based in New York and London whose national expertise was in securities and commodities. He began working with over-the-counter investment banking, market making and retail brokerage firms in 1980, several of which were self-clearing firms. He continued to work with numerous broker-dealers and as a result began assisting various funds and other investment entities in the mid-1980's. In addition, Bob is well qualified in SEC practice as a result of working with a significant number of SEC reporting entities, as well as assisting many clients with their initial public offerings. He has served as an expert witness before the SEC, FINRA (formerly the NASD) and NASDAQ on various issues.”

“Bob Yurglich received his Bachelor of Science degree from Colorado State University Pueblo and soon after obtained his CPA license. Bob holds current licenses in multiple states. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants as well as the Colorado Society of Certified Public Accountants. Bob is also a Regional Director of the Hedge Fund Association (HFA).” http://spicerjeffries.com/management

As this story continues to unfold with Vaughn Miller threatening legal action after being outed as a campaign contributor to David Duke’s failed 2016 Senate campaign, this story has not been picked up yet by the local media in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

This story is 100% FAKE NEWS, as the lawyer the representing Mr Vaughn Miller we can confirm that he has NEVER donated to Mr Duke. This kind of lie is hurtful to both our client and the wonderful charities he has raised money for. One has to question why the writer of this story would mention charities that Mr Miller has donated to. What kind of evil-hearted person would want to hurt a charity? This is clear evidence of a sociopath. Our law firm will shortly find out the the true identity of the author and we will "out" her (or him) for public shaming.

Law firm for Mr. Vaughn Miller

You are denying that someone donated money to David Duke with the name Vaughn Miller?

When you say something asinine like this it must mean this article is correct.
by Lawyer for Mr Miller
This is totally fake news and an attack on Mr Miller because he's a Trump supporter. A simple google search reveals the address on the FEC report is a UPS store with dozens of mailboxes: https://dallas-tx-6207.theupsstorelocal.com/ This is not Mr Miller's real address. Yet this author, who's moniker is "Tenant's Rule", did little real research nor she did ever try to contact Mr Miller to investigate properly. However she thinks she's clever and can tie our client to the phony campaign contribution while besmirching charities Mr Miller has generously given to in an attempt to embarrass him. What kind of sociopathic person would want to hurt children's charities in an attempt to hurt Mr Miller over a phony report? We will be recovering damages

For The Record:

There appears to be some concern about the fundraising activities, and nonprofits in the story above.

I wish to point out that according to public records, the last 990 tax filing made by Prestonwood Polo Foundation Inc. — EIN 27-3102875, was for 2013. No filings have been made since then.

And these records reveal that the contributions, gifts, grants, and similar amounts received, amounted to $101,000.

Out of $101,000 received, only $15,100, was given to others as charitable contributions.

See details, and link below...

Annual exempt organization return: Penalties for failure to file

If an organization fails to file a required return by the due date (including any extensions of time), it must pay a penalty of $20 a day for each day the return is late.  The same penalty applies if the organization does not give all the information required on the return or does not give the correct information.
 
In general, the maximum penalty for any return is the lesser of $10,000 or 5 percent of the organization's gross receipts for the year.  For an organization that has gross receipts of over $1 million for the year, the penalty is $100 a day up to a maximum of $50,000.

If the organization is subject to this penalty, the IRS may specify a date by which the return of correct information must be filed.  If the return is not filed by that date, an individual within the organization who fails to comply may be charged a penalty of $10 a day.  The maximum penalty on all individuals for failures with respect to a return shall not exceed $5,000.

Please note: Automatic revocation occurs when an exempt organization that is required to file an annual return (e.g., Form 990, 990-EZ or 990-PF) or submit an annual electronic notice (Form 990-N, or e-Postcard) does not do so for three consecutive years. Under the law, the organization automatically loses its federal tax exemption.

Penalties for failure to file may be abated if the organization has reasonable cause for the failure to file timely, completely, or accurately.
