Hughes - Durland & Cohort



Robert Evan (Van) Hughes
    Hughes had lost his license as a securities broker in Alabama and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina.  He appears to have been a corporate raider who might have crossed his partners in these enterprises once too often.  He created corporations, sold stock with no value to investors and then disappeared with the money. 

   Hughes had a long established relationship with Jay E. Gell, who did legal research for him.  Members of Gell's family apparently acted as operatives for Karl Rove in disinformation attacks.  One of these attacks was the SwiftBoating of John Kerry, which employed a Gell family member.
