Attorney General Drew Wrigley (R-ND)
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO Prairie Public Radio) โ More than a month after KFGO News reported that West Fargo-based Epic Companies closed and is under investigation, Attorney General Drew Wrigley has made his first public comments.
Wrigley was asked about Epic during a news conference in Bismarck where he released 2023 state crime statistics.
โItโs obviously a very concerning matter,โ Wrigley said. โThereโs not always criminal wrongdoing, but if there is evidence of that, we pursue those investigations. Sometimes, theyโre civil in nature, but whatever category it falls under, itโs concerning in nature. Itโs being monitored, and itโs being evaluated, and itโs being investigated.โ
Epic owns or manages commercial and residential buildings across the region and was hired to run โNorsk Hostfestโ in Minot, which is back under local control for this fallโs event.
Epic has laid off employees and a number of contractors and suppliers say theyโre owed significant amounts of money.
No one from the company will comment. Several sources say the company is under both state and federal investigation.
Among the agencies investigating is the state securities department.
