(We found out recently that those Mercedes SUVs they blared into town with — the only real sign they had any money behind them — were signed for by another guy Hilton had apparently taken for a ride.) But now at least one of Hilton’s “investors” is saying he and his fellow investors want to run the jail without Hilton, whose criminal/fraudster past now makes him an unwelcome partner. They just need to figure out how to find those prisoners Hilton told them were going to make the whole thing a profitable venture.
