What Costantino Remembers and Forgot - 38 Studios’ Big Subpoena
Sunday, December 20, 2015
The new round of 38 Studios subpoenas have been issued. This time the House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to Speaker Gordon Fox’s crony, insider Michael Corso, and to Fox’s closest House leadership ally, former Chairman of the House Finance Committee Steven Costantino.
In addition, Speaker Nicholas Mattiello signed a second subpoena for former Red Sox great and founder of 38 Studios Curt Schilling, who took to his blog to blast a claim by a Springfield, MA newspaper’s website that said he ignored the first RI subpoena.
“Ignore'? How can you ignore something you never saw? I have not been served anything by anyone. There is not a person on this planet with even a smidgen of knowledge of the law who would say anything BUT “Hell no he shouldn’t testify” while there is a bogus and incredibly wasteful civil suit still hanging around," wrote Schilling.

There are parts of this that are disappointing, humiliating, insulting, but on my behalf there is not one ounce of illegal in anything I ever did or said, ever. The tax paying citizen deserves the unfiltered and LIVE truth, and I sincerely hope that happens sooner rather than later. In the meantime people need to make sure everything is made public, every single page of every document,” continued Schilling.
Costantino in Spotlight
With one of the key players, former RI Finance Chairman Costantino, agreeing to testify before the House Oversight Committee, GoLocal has reviewed his sworn testimony during his deposition and identified the key information revealed -- and the questions that were’t answered.
It is important to remember that the questions asked during the deposition were relating to a civil financial law suit being pursued by the State of Rhode Island about a business deal.
