RICHMOND, Va. — Ten months after his longtime personal assistant died under mysterious circumstances, Stuart Siegel is beginning to get some answers about the more than $1 million he claims she stole from him. The well-known Richmond businessman, for whom VCU’s Siegel Center is named, disclosed in court filings last month that the FBI has begun seizing assets from the estate of Vanessa Patterson, who worked as Siegel’s assistant and bookkeeper for nearly a decade before her sudden death in February.
