A federal judge in California has issued a $200 million civil judgment against one-time billionaire Tim Blixseth for the fraudulent transfer of money out of an ultra-luxury resort he founded in southern Montana. U.S. District Judge Gary Feess referred to Blixseth's actions while at the Yellowstone Club near Big Sky as an "elaborate fraudulent scheme of self-dealing." Feess said the club's creditors deserve to be repaid.
