Former Customer Filed a Case Against Olinger

According to news articles, Patricia Shively was an investor in Celebration Pointe. Will Olinger and his firm, Koss Olinger, were alleged to have sold investments in Celebration Pointe to Ms. Shively. Three companies surrounding Celebration Pointe filed for bankruptcy in 2024, which decimated investors’ investments in Celebration Pointe.

The lawsuit alleged that Olinger needed Celebration Pointe to be successful because Olinger had his other clients invested in the same. The lawsuit also names Svein Dyrkolbotn and Viking Companies as parties and alleges that Olinger failed to disclose his relationship with Dyrkolbotn. According to the allegations, Celebration Pointe Plaza would have floundered years ago without infusions of cash from Ms. Shively.
