In the Union National Bank real estate licensing transaction did Flake actually pay a $250,000 referral fee, half his commission, to Grider's D.M. Riche? If so, the Little Rock commercial realty community believes it must be a record-setter. Another question begged is if prosecutors have accurately portrayed the flow of money in the transactions. Why would Flake two years later pay Grider's D.M. Riche a huge referral fee on the sale of the Atkins Building to APERS?
