HELENA – The trustee representing Yellowstone Club creditors offered a reward Wednesday to anyone who can help uncover property or bank accounts the luxury resort’s co-founder might have hidden from bankruptcy proceedings.

Brian Glasser, an attorney with Bailey & Glasser LLP of Charleston, West Virginia, offered 10 percent of the profits of the liquidated assets recovered from Tim Blixseth to anyone with information that leads to their discovery.

Glasser said creditors decided to act after Blixseth’s 2011 sale of another resort that was part of the bankruptcy proceedings.

“There could be land holdings abroad, land holdings in other people’s names. That’s why we’re appealing to the public,” he told the Associated Press.

Blixseth dismissed the reward as a sign of desperation ahead of a federal appellate court’s ruling on the Yellowstone Club bankruptcy and other appeals that Blixseth said could eliminate the creditors’ claims.

“So, I will better their ‘bounty offer,’ ” Blixseth said in an email from his Seattle home. “I will offer (a) 50 percent reward to anyone who can find any hidden assets of mine.”
