David R. Voelker PER ROBERT CONYER ON 12-8-11 HE IS NOT IN THE DEAL ANY LONGER Board Member Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Corporation Voelker and Conway Investments is a private equity investment firm specializing in growth capital and acquisition investments. The firm seeks to take a 25 percent to 100 percent stake in its portfolio companies. Voelker and Conway Investments was founded in 1993 by Mr. David Voelker and Ms. Nita Frantzen and is based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Louisiana Recovery Authority chairman named in lawsuit over business dealings

By Laura Maggi, The Times-Picayune
A lawsuit filed in New Orleans civil court accuses prominent local businessman David Voelker of siphoning money from his business partner into companies and accounts controlled by him.
Voelker, a politically active businessman who serves as chairman of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, said the lawsuit contains scurrilous accusations that don't reflect his 20-year partnership with Juanita Frantzen. The lawsuit, filed Monday, comes on the heels of months of negotiations about how to fairly divvy up their company, Frantzen-Voelker-Conway Investments LLC, he said.
"I'm a little surprised by it and shocked by it. That's been my partner for 25 years and so I'm taken aback by it and hurt a little bit by it," Voelker said Wednesday. "I looked at the complaint today and I don't find it to be truthful or forthright."
Walter Thompson, the attorney for Frantzen and two of her children who joined the lawsuit, said the petition "speaks for itself," adding that he believed the allegations would be proved.
Frantzen, who is known as Nita, accuses Voelker of squandering her $23 million investment in the company since 1993. Payments worth $17 million that were supposed to be made to Frantzen were instead "diverted" to Voelker or entities he controlled, the lawsuit claims.
But Voelker and Rick Conway, president of the business, said the company has audits and extensive accounting paperwork that show Frantzen received these payments over the years.
While the lawsuit claims the company is saddled with "debt in excess of its few remaining assets," Voelker said that reflects mostly the current poor business climate. For example, the company is invested in a real estate project in Dallas that needs some time for the market to improve, he said.
Over the years, Voelker has become a prominent political player, donating money to both Democratic and Republican candidates, a fact that was pointed out in the lawsuit. He has served on the LRA, the entity that directs most of the hurricane recovery money, since it was created after Hurricane Katrina.
