He hired Tommy Burns to kill his show jumper Charisma in 1990 and was
eventually convicted of three counts of wire fraud a federal offense. I knew
him a little from "A" shows back in the day. Rich jerk that was the Cell One
heir he hired Burns and he electrocuted Charisma in its stall. The insurance
fraud was for 250K  Finally, it was generally known at Cellular Farms that
both Lyman Whitehead and Molly Ash had ridden Charisma in competitions.
However, after Lindemann filed the insurance claim for Charisma's death, he
specifically told Reed and another employee to lie to the insurance
investigators by telling them that Lindemann and his sister were the only
people who had ridden Charisma. Lindemann then told the investigators the
same thing.

Charisma was a wonderful horse and had the basic talent to be as good as any
out there. Not the same horse that won a gold medal for New Zealand in 3 day
Olympics.

The sad thing is this happens every day. Lindemann was just greedy and
stupid thus got caught.
