Worked As A Radio Host

Not only that, but Kyle Johnson had a radio show called 'Radio Free Silver!' in KNFT in Silver City, New Mexico, in the early 2000s. He was the host of the show and member of the Grant County Peace Coalition.

However, after just two months, the show was off the air. And the reason was that 20 to 25 of the station's advertisers had threatened to pull their spots from all KNFT programming if Radio Free Silver! continued to be aired.

That led KNFT's owner to drop the show and faced with $10,000 a month in lost advertising revenue. After that, Kyle also worked as the communications director at the Interhemispheric Resource Center.

On the other hand, Johnson alleged that Bell committed financial elder abuse to his mother, breached his fiduciary duty, committed fraud, and unjustly enriched himself, among other charges.
