The media obtained an evidentiary transcript of the case, which was one of the early events of Texas Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton's decade-long controversy: allegations of corruption and other offenses were repeated, yet there was no final conviction. At the time, in December 2014, Paxton was a rising Republican star and had just been elected Attorney General of Texas. But outside of the public eye, he is involved in a federal fraud investigation. According to the records, Paxton originally intended to invest $100,000 in Servergy and meet Mr. Marp at this store to deliver checks. Paxton claimed that Marp refused to accept the money and instead gifted him 100,000 shares of the company. Paxton attributed Mapu's generosity to the other person's religious beliefs.
