Two of the men charged in the murder for hire case that led to the 2018 killing of a Vermont man are now facing federal wire fraud charges
Prosecutors have alleged that Davis was killed because he was ready to go to the FBI to complain that Gumrukcu was failing to live up to his obligations in an oil trading deal.
The latest indictment outlines how prosecutors say that over several years Gumrucku and Davis, working through a middleman, were trying to arrange an oil trading deal that began in 2015. Later after Gumrukcu failed to live up to his financial obligations, Davis' company Mode Commodities and a company controlled by Gumrukcu called Lauran Trading, agreed to pay Davis $5 million over time, the indictment says.
In 2017, Gumrukcu was also putting together a different deal through which he obtained a significant ownership stake in Enochian Biosciences, a Los Angeles based biotechnology company. Prosecutors have said that if Davis would have complained to the FBI about Gumrukcu it could have jeopardized the biotechnology deal.
