National Century president indicted over attempted witness tampering
National Century filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2002 after ratings on its bonds were cut to junk, employees started receiving bad checks from the business and the FBI raided the company’s headquarters.
According to the latest indictment, Poulsen and Demmler were attempting to bribe a witness who is planning to testify against Poulsen and others at the federal criminal trial in February. Demmler, the indictment alleged, met with the unnamed witness in June and told her that Poulsen wanted to make her “whole.” The indictment further alleged that during a September telephone conversation between Poulsen and Demmler, the two agreed that “the only thing to do … is maybe, uh, try to get the (witness) to, you know, ha-have some problems thinking about knowing certain things, you know what I’m saying.”
