Breaking: Jury finds NRA liable for mismanagement, says Wayne LaPierre violated duties

[Crepitus]

After five days of deliberations, a jury in New York on Friday held the National Rifle Association liable for financial mismanagement and found that Wayne LaPierre, the group's former CEO, corruptly ran the nation’s most prominent gun rights group.

The jury determined that LaPierre’s violation of his duties cost the NRA $5,400,000, though he already repaid more than $1 million to the organization.

Aren't you guys pissed that these people are misusing your money?

That makes sense.

instead of finding the man in charge guilty, find the whole organization guilty.

They should have used the same logic in the Madoff case.

instead of finding Madoff guilty, they should have found WALL STREET guilty.

Oh, it was in New York! Lol!!!!

Wayne LaPierre misspent millions of dollars of the National Rifle Association’s money during his decades leading the powerful gun lobby, using the funds to pay for an extravagant lifestyle that included exotic getaways and trips on private planes and superyachts, a New York jury determined Friday.
The jury ordered LaPierre, 74, to repay the group he led for three decades $4,351,231. It also ordered the NRA’s retired finance chief, Wilson Phillips, to pay back the group $2 million. Jurors also found that the NRA omitted or misrepresented information in its tax filings and violated New York law by failing to adopt a whistleblower policy.
LaPerre sat stone-faced in the front row of the courtroom as the verdict was read aloud.

The verdict is a win for New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat who campaigned on investigating the NRA’s not-for-profit status.

When will Republicans voters come to understand that the last 15 years have been nothing but a scam?

 

[rightwinger]

NRA steals from Conservatives

Conservatives don’t care

 

[BackAgain]

That NY AG. Whatta bullshit artist.

She went after the NRA because of its mismanagement — and, as NY’s AG, it was her duty to help the State NRA membership.

Yeah. That’s the ticket.

That’s why she sought to destroy the NRA. For the good of its members.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Lol!! Do you guys believe if the NRA is gone, guns will simply vaporize?

I frankly could care less about any gun organizations, and I have around 25 guns, and no, you'll never get them.

Currently there are around 400 million firearms in the hands of private owners.

It’s the mind set of liberals, they think by attempting to bankrupt a person or organization that they would simply disappear, pass a law and crime will disappear, outlaw guns and gun deaths will disappear, deny a person their constitutional rights and they will roll over just to be acceptable. Total nonsense on steroids.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Oh, it was in New York! Lol!!!!

It was Letitia James. Name sound familiar?

She RAN on "getting Trump" and the like when she ran for office in 2018. She's living up to her campaign promises.

It's unheard of for a candidate to run on "getting" an individual person. Maybe they ran on being "tough on crime" or being "tough on child molesters" but not a campaign promise to go after a single individual. That's Gestapo type shit. Can you even BEGIN to imagine the uproar on the left if a right wing DA ran on "getting" Joe Biden and nothing else and was elected and then did just that? Suing the fuck out of him and charging him with dozens of crimes? HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

How is it even legal for a jury to find an independent organization guilty of "mismanagement"? Has NY turned into a fascist republic while we weren't looking?

 

[Alice in Chains]

I guess this is what life looks like when the country is overrun with democrats.

You can burn buildings, shoot cops, loot, kill, and rob anyone who blinks, with zero consequences. And, then they will build a gigantic statue of you.

Conservatives will never win another battle, right or wrong.

They should have used the same logic in the Madoff case.

Wall Street would kick their ass

You don't understand the law is your issue.
