After his short tenure as CEO of Missouri Employers Mutual, a publication reported he was “ousted” from that role but did not elaborate.
In concert with Saint Louis area attorney Edward J. Griesedieck III, Wilson circumvented that rule on two occasions.
Their scheme was allegedly carried out at the behest of MEM board member Douglas Morgan; it involved Griesedieck making a $5,000 campaign donation to the Missouri Democratic Party via his employer, Herzog Crebs Law Firm.
[8] A couple of months later, Morgan and Wilson made another illegal $3,000 donation to the Missouri Democratic Party through Griesedieck.
However, he did not do the same for their previous $5,000 donation; Wilson plead guilty to the criminal charge during his arraignment before Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Ann Medler.
