Bail was set at $100,000 for former J. David & Co. principal Nancy Hoover Hunter after she pleaded innocent to 234 counts of fraud and income tax evasion at her arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Roger Curtis McKee in San Diego. Assistant U.S. Atty. S. Gay Hugo disclosed in court that the government’s case against Hunter includes testimony from “only one other person who could (incriminate) her.” He declined to name the witness, but sources close to the case said it is Dominelli himself, who in recent months has testified before the federal grand jury that indicted Hunter. Dominelli, who once shared with Hunter a lavish lifestyle of fancy homes, private jets and exotic racing cars, is presently serving a 20-year sentence on his plea of guilty to four counts of fraud and income tax evasion.
