THE ALASKAN PIPELINE

After attempts to settle the case proved "fruitless," says Jungreis, the FDIC sent four U.S. marshals to Bergt's homes in Alaska and California in the summer of 1993 to seize, among other items, artworks, a Cartier watch and sterling-silver flatware. Jungreis says he believes the items taken from Bergt's home are "still in storage somewhere." Marshals also confiscated an airplane owned by Bergt, he adds.
