Ex-billionaire hit with forced bankruptcy petition

By MATTHEW BROWN, Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. – Authorities from three states are seeking to force former billionaire Tim Blixseth into an involuntary bankruptcy to extract tens of millions of dollars in unpaid taxes he allegedly stashed in Nevada.
Blixseth on Wednesday rejected the states' actions as based largely on "bogus" claims from Montana, where he developed the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club.
Officials there are seeking almost $57 million from the real estate baron, who now resides in Washington state.
Blixseth also owes $1.1 million in Idaho income taxes and almost $1 million in California, according to a petition filed Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Nevada.
A court-issued summons gives Blixseth 21 days to respond. He told The Associated Press he will fight the petition and described it as politically motivated.
That charge was rejected as "preposterous" by Montana tax department chief Dan Bucks.
