Arizona Republic:  Arizona State University baseball coach Pat Murphy claims he lost almost 100,000 in a real-estate scam.

Patrick Murphy has filed a complaint in U.S. District Bankruptcy Court seeking to recover his losses from a Gilbert man who orchestrated a condo-rehab scheme that Arizona regulators called fraudulent and in violation of state securities laws.

Murphy also is asking the federal judge to hold former ASU athletics compliance officer John Park and his wife, former ASU head volleyball coach Patti Snyder-Park, responsible for the $100,000, saying they convinced him to put his money into the project.

Arizona Republic:  “Six years ago, two University of Phoenix enrollment counselors filed a lawsuit accusing the for-profit school of illegally rewarding them with fat raises and prizes based on the number of students they enrolled.  The whistle-blowers are long gone. The corporate executives in charge at the time are now at different schools.  But the case continues to dog the nation’s largest private university.”
