[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]SOUTH ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A high-profile white supremacist record company appears to have gone out of business after one co-owner accused the other of having a Hispanic mother.[/font]
[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]Panzerfaust was behind Project Schoolyard USA, which last year distributed thousands of free compact discs to teenagers across the country, particularly in Minnesota.[/font]
[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]The company is now appears dormant, with its Web address directing views to another white power site called "Free Your Mind." No working telephone number for the Panzerfaust could be found Friday.[/font]
[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, reports that co-owners Byron Calvert, 33, and Anthony A. Pierpont, 38, had a falling out after Calvert saw a copy of Pierpont's birth certificate.[/font]
[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]The document, which is posted on the center's Web site, indicates that Pierpont's mother was named Maria Marcola del Prado and she was born in Mexico. Also, Calvert claimed in an online posting that Pierpont had sex with Thai prostitutes.[/font]
[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]As a result, and Pierpont's refusal to take a DNA test, Calvert wrote last month that he would quit the company and so would its webmaster. The center reports that influential hate groups Hammerskin Nation and Volksfront also denounced Pierpont.[/font]
[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]The Free Your Mind site said that any business done with Pierpont should be considered "an act of treason."[/font]
