Episode Details

Two companies locked in a bitter legal feud with Senator Jim Justice’s coal empire are now racing to get involved in a high-stakes federal lawsuit over The Greenbrier hotel — not to run it, but to protect their money. Since 2012, New London Tobacco Market and Fivemile Energy have been battling Justice’s companies over mineral rights, and a recent court ruling slapped them with a $35 million judgment, with the judge calling the Justice-linked firms “alter egos” — meaning the family could be personally liable. Now, these same companies allege the Justice group secretly moved valuable land and farms into a shell company, Oakhurst Club LLC, to dodge that debt. Meanwhile, Omni’s White Sulphur Springs Holdings is pushing for a receiver to take over The Greenbrier, fearing collateral loss, while the Justice family scrambles to secure financing to pay off debts — including to White Sulphur Springs. New London and Fivemile warn that without a seat at the table, their chances of recovering the Kentucky judgment could vanish.
