FBI locks down Pilot headquarters » Knoxville News Sentinel

Why?

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

That doesn't sound good.

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

No it doesn't at all. Could it be a bomb or some kind of fraud by our good ole governor?

Hopefully neither. Bad new for pilot is bad news for UT.

 

[MG1968]

maybe they just want to know where Pilot gets its coffee from and won't take "it's a secret" as an answer

I've texted all my buddies who work there and nothing back.

 

[VolinArizona]

None of them know anything. Or if they do, they wouldn't say. All are underlings.

 

[DynamiteMcGhee]

Crazy. I live maybe 2 minutes from the place.

 

[volnightlong]

Apparently they forced all the employees up against the wall and escorted them out of the building as an ambulance approached.

This is very true.

I did not see this anywhere else on VN.
I think it belongs here, since it involves a very prominent Tennessee Football booster. The story simply says that the FBI and Knoxville Police are at the company's headquarters and that WBIR was asked to leave.

Sounds like a bomb threat scenario with the forcing up against the walls and an ambulance.

Nope.

IRS is inside is info I got from a buddy. Dispatchers are only ones still in the building.

 

[Velo Vol]

I have no idea but it sounds like it could be a criminal investigation.

Why would they ask wbir to leave. Isn't that the press doing their jobs.

I wonder if Coke has anything to do with this :birgits_giggle:

Because this is a hatchet job by the feds and they can't have the real news reported.
