You should know about Sigal Chattah and her “Convict Connection:”
- Questionable Judgment #1: While running for the Nevada state office of Attorney General in 2022, Sigal Chattah texted that her opponent, incumbent AG Aaron Ford, a Black man, “… should be hanging from a f—ing crane.”
- Questionable Judgment #2: Sigal Chattah introduced convicted felon Tony D’Anna to the late Judge Melanie Tobiasson, who later presided over a case involving D’Anna’s home invasion and strangulation of his then-girlfriend. Tobiasson ultimately dismissed the case.
- Questionable Judgment #3: Sigal Chattah, who already had known Tony D’Anna for quite some time (well over 10 years ago; Tony had taken me to meet her at her somewhat shabby offices on Rainbow), introduced Las Vegas businesswoman Vickie Dehart to him at Piero’s, a well-known Italian restaurant near the Las Vegas Convention Center. When D’Anna realized the kind of money that Dehart had, he persuaded Vickie (who ultimately became his girlfriend and who still is his current girlfriend) to donate thousands of dollars to her campaign for Nevada Attorney General in 2022.
- The Epitome of Questionable Judgment: Sigal Chattah has engaged in what I see as the very meaning of the phrase “questionable judgment,” in that she has engaged in a long-time relationship with D’Anna, who is a “known and documented organized crime figure” (named as such by Attorney Thomas C. Bradley, Prosecuting Officer for the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline in a disciplinary case brought against the late Judge Melanie Tobiasson — see Paragraph 13, Page 4) and in various news reports such as this one in the Las Vegas Review Journal, Pg.3, and who has now been appointed as the interim United States Attorney for the District Attorney for Nevada, who has benefited financially and with status.
- Influence #1: The tentacles of Sigal Chattah’s political, judicial, financial and personal relationships are wide ranging and she wields her bulldog-like personality to manipulate all to her benefit.
- Influence #2: Leading up to her 2022 AG election, D’Anna boasted that if Chattah was elected, he would have, as he termed it, “the juice.”
- Influence #3: According to information I have received, Sigal Chattah allegedly introduced D’Anna, also at Piero’s, to a woman named Carol Jimmerson, who is married to prominent Las Vegas attorney Jim Jimmerson. Sometime later, Carol Jimmerson had a very expensive ring stolen from her in a robbery that happened in a parking lot in Summerlin. (Watch LVMPD video on the robbery here: Carol Jimmerson Ring Robbery.) Note: this case was never solved to this day, and has disappeared from the radar except for the link here.
- The Payoff: Sigal Chattah’s introduction of D’Anna to Vickie Dehart paid off in a big way. Sigal was able to get thousands of dollars in donations, and D’Anna got a $1.5 million house, a Rolls Royce Ghost, a Ferrari SF-90 (and currently a Ferrari 488 Pista), not to mention a number of high-end vehicles. Let’s not forget about the introduction to Judge Tobiasson, which resulted in a huge payoff for D’Anna in that she dismissed the domestic battery and strangulation case that was brought against him (Case No. 18F01395X)
- Details: I am going to explain in great detail below and throughout this website what makes the relationship between recently nominated interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada, Sigal Chattah, and convicted felon Tony D’Anna not a typical client-attorney relationship.
Sigal Chattah, because of her line of work as an attorney here in Nevada, is involved with many criminals and accused criminals. That’s natural.
But there’s one particular felon, one convict who is of special note: Anthony “Tony” aka “Nino” D’Anna.
Nino is connected both directly and indirectly with the one-time candidate for Nevada Attorney General, Sigal Chattah. (By the way, Chattah was defeated by then-incumbent and now current Nevada AG Aaron Ford in the 2022 election, who she texted, “… should be hanging from a f—ing crane.”)
Nino is a convicted felon — a “known and documented organized crime figure” — and served time behind bars on drug charges. He also was charged with domestic battery and strangulation of his girlfriend at the time. Yeah, he’s a real “peach” of a guy. And Chattah knows all this about Tony.
Sigal Chattah is friends with a Las Vegas businesswoman named Vickie Dehart — the two are close enough that one night Chattah introduced Vickie and Tony to each other while they all were having dinner at Piero’s Italian Cuisine restaurant just off the strip next to the Las Vegas Convention Center — according to an eyewitness account by a person to whom I have spoken.
I also have personally been with Sigal Chattah, Anthony D’Anna, and Judge Melanie Tobiasson at Piero’s Italian Cuisine restaurant. Judge Tobiasson’s drunken behavior was so outlandish one night, it was beyond belief. She was waving a loaded gun around at the table.
Tony ingratiated himself to Vickie, and soon enough the two became “an item.”
At the time Tony and Vickie met, I was told by Tony that Vickie was married to her husband, Paul Dehart. Tony and Vickie have been an item for several years, but according to records in Clark County, Nevada, there have been no separation or divorce records filed between Paul and Vickie that I could locate. Paul Dehart is part of the founding group of EHB Companies, which includes Vickie and a man named Yohan Lowie. That complicates things among the three of them, as EHB Companies recently settled a case surrounding a development called The Badlands, against the City of Las Vegas for several hundred million dollars.
Shortly after they met in late 2019 or early 2020, Tony called me and asked about buying a Rolls Royce. He wanted to know who I knew at Towbin Motorcars. I directed him to a guy named Dave, who at the time was the General Manager. He was able to get Vickie to buy a brand new Rolls Royce Ghost.
Prior to the November 2022 election night watch party at T-Bones Chophouse at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa — which D’Anna, Vickie, and Sigal Chattah all attended — D’Anna had boasted to me that if Chattah got elected as Nevada’s new Attorney General, that he would have the “juice” to get things done with her in that position of power.
