In another bizarre twist to the Thornblade saga that has rocked the South Carolina Upstate over the last few days, multiple law enforcement and prosecutorial sources have confirmed to this news outlet that the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) is involved in at least one investigation of the upscale neighborhood and its country club.
According to our sources, agents with the USSS – a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – are scheduled to visit the club within the next few days for the purpose of following up on information previously provided to the agency.
What sort of information? Good question …
As our readers are by now well aware, there are numerous angles to this story … any one of which could have prompted the involvement of this particular federal law enforcement branch.
As noted in a post on Friday, we are looking at three distinct Thornblade-related scandals: 1) Allegations of possible embezzlement involving the neighborhood golf club, 2) allegations of a “prostitution ring” (or “sex ring”) involving several residents of the neighborhood, and 3) allegations involving an “athletics team at a government-run high school in nearby Taylors, S.C.” that are said to be somehow connected to the prostitution/ sex ring accusations.
We have also been informed of related blackmail allegations tied to the investigation – an inquiry which all of our sources agree is in its infancy and, according to one prosecutor, “jurisdictionally nebulous.”
Wtf!?
