WME says an Oregon promoter is to blame for a popular festival brand's collapse just months after the agency took over full ownership in 2018.Willamette Country Music Concerts in 2018, keeping Harkins as an employee to produce its three festivals in Oregon -- the Willamette Country Music Festival in Linn County, the Country Crossings Music Festival in Central Point and the Cape Blanco Country Music Festival -- as well as the Mountain Home Country Music Festival in Idaho.
Now, 19 months after firing Hankins, WME has filed a lawsuit alleging the founder misrepresented her business' financial health in 2013 and misappropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds after the sale, with millions more needing to be accounted for, according to a lawsuit filed July 31 in nearby Lane County, Oregon.Since 2010, Hankins had operated Willamette Country Music Concerts as a family run business employing her husband, three daughters and son-in-law.
Over the course of 24 pages, Kalmanson accuses Harkins of forgery, embezzlement and theft, but omits that two years after the internal investigation began Harkins has not faced any criminal charges related to her time running the festivals on behalf of WME. WME also appears to have fallen short in its own due diligence, claiming in the lawsuit it was unaware of the 2001 conviction, despite a portion of the case making its way to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. In that case, Hankins agreed to settle her $350,000 debt with the bank for a $5,000 payment. The Oregon U.S. Attorney's Office felt that Hankins had not been punished enough and won a $331,995 judgement against Hankins which was then applied to the national Crime Victims Fund.
