WBTV’s Sharon Smith rolls into the issue of Nick Mackey’s 2005 bankruptcy filing. In sum, it makes no sense.
He filed in Alamance County, claiming a residency in Burlington. All other documents on Mackey — including NC voter records and property records — point to a Charlotte residency. This is a massive red flag.
To be blunt, one of the few reasons a person would file in a county district outside their principle place of work and residency would be to hide assets from the court. If Mackey has a clear explaination of how he came to file bankruptcy in Alamance in 2005, then turn around and run for district court judge in Mecklenburg in 2006, we’ve yet to hear it.
Time for everyone in Charlotte to act like adults. Enough of this sideshow.
Update: The Uptown paper of record has caught up to the bankruptcy-residency question with its own story here. Again, the issue is not that so much that Mackey filed for bankruptcy, but that we cannot establish where his legal residence was — or is.
