Ammon Bundy ‘in hiding’ after losing Idaho home, websites in legal battle with St. Luke’s

St. Luke’s has won significant battles recently in its fight against far-right activist Ammon Bundy.

The health system, which won a defamation case against Bundy and one of his associates this year, has taken ownership of his Emmett property and house — after a judge voided a sale Bundy made to another associate — and also succeeded in getting Bundy’s websites removed from the internet.

Ever since an Ada County jury ordered that Bundy, Diego Rodriguez and their entities had to pay $52.5 million in damages for defaming St. Luke’s and some of its employees, the health system has been pushing hard to collect money. It has also been trying to get Bundy and Rodriguez to remove false, defamatory online statements about St. Luke’s and its staff as part of a judicial order.

This week, St. Luke’s made gains on both fronts.

When Bundy refused to begin making damage payments, St. Luke’s was able to go after his assets instead. St. Luke’s asked 3rd District Judge Brent Whiting to undo the sale of Bundy’s home, alleging that he sold it illegally last year to put an asset beyond a creditor’s reach, which is considered a fraudulent conveyance under the law.

1. Good, though I doubt anyone will buy this property.

Just blow up the buildings and return it to free grazing for wild animals.

[DBoon]

6. Turn it into a bird sanctuary

[lastlib]

15. It has already been a home to loons.....

No other birds would live there now.

[Oopsie Daisy]

28. 🤣😂🤣😂

[EarnestPutz]

36. Great screen name there, Oopsie. Nicely done.

[hatrack]

32. Possibly suitable for cuckoos . . . .

[lastlib]

37. And for dodos as well...

I suspect they're not really extinct--they just evolved into MAGAts, maybe.

[Thunderbeast]

18. It is a gorgeous location...

I have seen the site overlooking Emmet and the Payette River Valley.

Someone will buy it.

[OAITW r.2.0]

19. Not without threats.

I don't care how pretty the sunrises or sunsets are,,,,I have no doubt the harassment will be intolerable.

[ret5hd]

2. Brave Sir Robin!

[CanonRay]

3. I can't work up an iota of sympathy for this jerk.

Talk about dealing your own hand.

[ShazzieB]

8. Nope, no sympathy. None.

[UTUSN]

4. K&R

[Takket]

5. can we get this same judge to oversee the Jones vs Sandy Hook families case?

Those poor people are still be jerked around........

[moniss]

9. Yes that

bankruptcy judge is horrible. Allowing all kinds of asset transfers and lavish lifestyle expenditures to go on while stiffing the court for required disclosures and any move toward paying the judgement should be getting the judge investigated as well.

[Canoe52]

7. Poor guy, where do you go when Idaho is too liberal for you?

[Bo Zarts]

10. Alabama

[moniss]

29. More or less the same just a different drawl

in Alabama and the bigotry is more aimed at just one group rather than several.

[Warpy]

13. Russia

He'll love it there. He'll be trotted around as a refugee from the decadent west, given a Moscow flat near the posh district but not quite in it, and a paycheck for giving unhinged speeches.

[lastlib]

16. Well, I guess there's Hell....

...which is my preference...

[rpannier]

20. According to an article in the Atlantic he's likely in southern Utah

Hiding out among the fundamentalist Mormons is my guess _ Jeffs' crowd

[xmas74]

27. He'll just buy his own blue tarp

To hide under.

[BlueIdaho]

33. Check the Candlelight Church

In Coeur d Alene Idaho. No joke.

[Canoe52]

34. They sound fun,

From their website:

“In an effort to make all people who attend our services feel welcomed and loved we will not be screening backpacks, diaper bags, large purses, briefcases, etc. en masse. However, as a result, we will reserve the right to selectively screen backpacks, diaper bags, large purses, briefcases, etc. should we deem it necessary for any reason.”

wtf

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. Somebody might sneak a copy of Handmaids Tale into the church. . . . . nt

[BlueIdaho]

43. They are the home of ChristoFascists

And all the ultra-right wing nutbag politicians, law enforcement, and backwoods weapons enthusiasts. Bundy could find plenty who would happily hide him. Including the local county sheriff.

[moniss]

11. Maybe he'll

turn up at the ranch of Daddy "The Freeloader".

[underpants]

12. This moron.

[Blue Owl]

14. Another rightwing blubbering bunker baby

[PlutosHeart]

17. I would be concerned about

him flipping out even more.
Personally hope someone keeps an eye on him.

[Gore1FL]

22. I hope they'd keep a camera on that for the entertainment value.

If he wants to go the way of LaVoy Finicum. who am I to argue?

[Thunderbeast]

21. He faced federal charges in Oregon and Nevada

Nevada for his participation in the armed family standoff over stiffing the BLM over grazing fees.

Oregon for his weeks-long armed occupation at Malheur Wildlife Preserve (resulting in the death of one of his followers).

In both instances, Federal Marshals and prosecuters failed to make their case. The Bundys walked free.

[drmeow]

24. Sadly, civil cases

against assholes like this are often the only way to get any accountability.

[dpibel]

26. Failed to make case? Not really.

In the Cliven grazing fees case, there was some prosecutorial misconduct claimed that resulted in dismissal with prejudice. That's not at all a "failed to prove" acquittal.

In the Malheur case, it was pure jury nullification led by a sov-cit flavored jury foreperson.

I do, however, agree with you that the Bundys walked free.

[Ford_Prefect]

38. The Jurys in both cases were more sympathetic to "individual rights" and less inclined to assert Federal authority

than would seem to make sense, especially in the Oregon case. Feds did not so much blow the cases as underestimate the jury pool. In both cases the months and months of pretrial publicity of the events of the cases were far too sympathetic to the Ammons and their distortions of US Constitution.

[Iggo]

23. Good. Let him hide. And take all his shit.

Next best thing if they’re not gonna lock him up.

[JohnnyRingo]

25. He lives in denial that he is responsible for his actions.

That sounds familiar.
He tried to "sell" his house and furnishings to avoid ceding it to the judgment and was "renting" it.
When the courts reversed the sale they found he stripped the place clean and moved on. He's not going to be missing for long. He's a hot potato. Even the guy who "bought" his house is now cooperating.

To recap how he got himself into this mess:

They posted videos and blogs saying the hospital was working with the Idaho government to take children away from Christian families to be sexually abused and given to gay couples, according to court documents.

He's a psychopath if he thinks he can get away with such slander. Again, it sounds so familiar.

[Paladin]

30. As long as he has guns and a cowboy hat, he'll be a threat. (nt)

[LiberalFighter]

31. Did a little research on the guy.

If he had been black the police would not have tazed him. They would have shot him I bet.

[Snackshack]

39. Good

This phuker should be in a jail and his idiot brother. How he and a bunch of misfits took over and occupied the Maher complex for days and just destroyed it then one of his followers got in a high speed chase and ended up shot dead by LE yet is still free is FBS. This whole family just like trumps they feel they are entitled to graze for free and do as they pls, rules are for the “little people” as that idiot ditz from Colorado said in a theater. Obama should have dropped a hammer on these phuks that day at that river bottom. I still cannot believe the photo of the traitorous phuk cowardly hiding behind a wall pointing a sniper rifle at government officials aka Americans with wives and daughters and sons. We keep letting these assholes like the bundys and the trumps get away with unbelievable shit and think that this will end on is own that ”cooler minds will prevail”… not gonna happen this is THE cooler minds… this is going to have to be met with force. We are 99% animal and 1% human and the human response has failed.

The jury in this case was every bit the disgrace the jury was in the OJ case. I watched a show couple yrs ago with an interview of the a juror on the on jury she said they all knew oj was guilty AF but after those crooked cops walked from beating Rodney King (all w/ shit eating grins after verdict was read) the OJ jury let oj off as “payback” for all the bad that has happened to King and more…

[Evolve Dammit]

40. "Smoke Him Out" (GWB). Then Lock Him Up.

[SWBTATTReg]

41. He's still around? When the heck is he going to finally drop dead of something? Good grief, he's got a

grief/complaint about almost everyone and everything. You can't make anyone like this happy at all. All he wants is to be king of his little plot of land somewhere in the boonies and pretend that he's important. If he quit doing things illegally, mouthing off at people and/or other entities falsely, accusing them of all kinds of fake nonsense, he needs to pay out the wazoo, for he truly deframed these entities. My take is that such a person is the fitting definition of a coward, who can't stand behind his words and instead, crawls into his hole to hide, when things get too tough.

[Tickle]

42. How do you undo a sale?

Who pays, the guy who bought the house of Bundy?
Also, why didn't Bundy file bankruptcy and save his house?

He must be an idiot

[Ford_Prefect]

44. He is a dangerously charismatic idiot.

Bankruptcy requires time to use the process and supplying a full accounting of personal assets to be filed with the court. Ammon doesn't trust or use legal courts of any kind, and was trying to leave town quickly.

I suspect he'll be found hiding out off the beaten path among his fellow sovereign citizens: in the Alaska back country, southern Arizona under an assumed name as someone's "cousin", rural east Oregon.

[Trekologer]

45. Sale was probably a sham

"judge voided a sale Bundy made to another associate"

In other words, he "sold" the property to a buddy of his in a transaction that totally wasn't to hide assets from his creditors.
