The Flea Market, touted as the nation's largest, made the Bumbs rich, grossing nearly $12 million in 1996. Well, guess what? Christopher Gardner I'm on the hook for $15 million. Jeff's daughter interrupted Matthew and said, "And I didn't know better. But Jeff says the loan dispute screwed up their moving plans. The court saga evolved into a battle of wills between a father--a man who wouldn't even let the Vatican tell him what to do--and his oldest son, determined to break free from the old man's grasp. In a statement to police, Jeff's daughter recounted how the first incident had happened the year before on the Fourth of July at a family beach house near Santa Cruz when the older boy allegedly started fondling her while she was asleep on the living room couch. During the Venzon investigation, San Jose police dug up an old file from November 1990 in which Venzon, a sheriff's deputy, had reported his department-issued Smith & Wesson 9 mm automatic stolen.

He demanded $10 million from his brothers to compensate him for violating the purported secret Bay 101 deal. The elder Bumb may not have been feeling well, but he wasn't too sick to remember who was boss in this family. Matthew is the kind of guy a relative described to police as "polite," the guy parents wanted their daughters to date. She recalled that she was dressed in shorts and a T-shirt covered by a blanket. Jeff's grandfather, Frank Bumb, had met his wife, Mary, at a card parlor in San Francisco where they worked.

You know the school we went to?" "Could he [Jeff] do any other work on his own behalf?"

Originally he was scheduled for questioning on March 10, 1997, but the old man's lawyers explained that their client was extremely ill, suffering from "severe life-threatening conditions," practically on his death bed. Three years ago, the Mercury News listed the Bumb family in the Top 10 of the valley's most generous political contributors. When Werner broke the news that Jeff's brothers wouldn't write a letter on his behalf, he says Jeff became furious. You know the school we went to?" Jeff's grandfather, Frank Bumb, had met his wife, Mary, at a card parlor in San Francisco where they worked. Jeff didn't mind, though. He demanded $10 million from his brothers to compensate him for violating the purported secret Bay 101 deal. Matthew Bumb's attorney argued that the relationship was consensual. The teenagers had been drinking booze earlier in the night. Tim Bumb says writing a letter on Jeff's behalf would have violated the agreement with the police chief and put the club in jeopardy. Within weeks, Jeff says, his six-month-old dog was dead, his cat was dead and the tires of a family car were slashed. The district attorney's office says that Bumb attorney Ron Werner turned the letter over to authorities immediately after it came in the mail. He wanted to relocate and expand Sutter's Place in Alviso from a five-table card room to a 40-table one, matching the size of Northern California's largest card room, Garden City in San Jose. Tim and George Jr. worried that pressuring state and city officials to deal Jeff back in at Bay 101 would backfire and authorities would close down the card room. According to Jeff, there was tremendous pressure from his father and others in the family to keep the incest a secret. He also runs day-to-day operations at the family-owned Flea Market. But Jeff was confident. He started telling people around the office that he wanted out of the family business. EVERY DAY THE CLUB stayed closed, the Bumbs lost more money. He demanded $10 million from his brothers to compensate him for violating the purported secret Bay 101 deal. A nurse was present to monitor his condition. "I mean," Jeff later said at a deposition, "it was a time of hurt and heartache for us--and not my father, not my mother, not my brother George, not my brother Tim, not Brian could care less." During his long tenure at the Flea Market, Venzon apparently developed a close relationship with George Bumb Sr. About 20 percent of the 130 students there are Bumb relatives.) Jeff's daughter interrupted Matthew and said, "And I didn't know better. Jeff Bumb later explained to the press that they didn't know partnerships were required to file such reports, and they paid the state a $1,250 fine.

Before the end of the month, the Flea Market laid off Jeff's daughters Anne and Rebecca. Initially, police filed felony charges against Matthew Bumb for having oral sex with a minor and penetrating her with his fingers. (That thing that involved Jeff when Bay 101 was scheduled to open but didn't.)" According to Werner, molestation of his daughter became part of a laundry list of damning things Jeff threatened to disclose if his buy-out demands weren't met. Christopher Gardner Deputy chief Tom Wheatley says that police wondered if Venzon, or someone, destroyed the barrel to prevent a ballistics test from tracing a fired bullet to the gun. Don't Shoot: George Bumb Sr., the publicity-shy patriarch of the Bumb family and creator of the Flea Market, in a rare photo which appeared in California Today magazine in 1980. Earlier this year, a month before Venzon was sentenced to 14 years in prison, district attorney investigator Michael Schembri closed out the Venzon case, noting in a court filing, "No new information has been uncovered relating to the murder for hire case [at the Flea Market] which our department investigated several years ago." George Bumb Sr.'s loan-repayment demands came in July 1996, just as his oldest son and his wife were about to move to Los Gatos and break away from the family and its eastside enclave. It did the unthinkable: When he was jailed, the desperate cop wrote a 15-page handwritten letter in pencil to George Bumb in May 1997 asking the Flea Market owner to bail him out. In a fit, he took the paper he was writing on, crumpled it up and threw it out the office door. And Brian, the handsome and gregarious youngest brother, was in charge of day-to-day operations at the Flea Market. Jeff tells the story differently: "Matthew was my godson. The gambling palace Jeff Bumb--the oldest son who is often described as the most entrepreneurial of the four brothers--had in mind was going to take a lot of effort and political skill.

In the last five years, the Bumb family and its enterprises have been investigated for illegal political campaign contributions, an alleged profit-skimming racket out at the Berryessa Flea Market and even a murder-for-hire scheme involving Johnny Venzon, a former cop, convicted thief and gambling addict. Other allegations were more dubious: Investigators chased after a tip that the Bumbs were skimming cash from the Flea Market parking lot, an accusation that was never proven.
