Former NRA CEO must repay $4.3 million for misappropriating money, court rules
Wayne LaPierre is also barred from serving as an NRA officer or director.
An appellate court in New York has upheld a $4.3 million judgment imposed on former National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre after he was found liable of misappropriating money.
The Appellate Division's First Department also upheld the prohibition on LaPierre from holding a position as an officer or director of the NRA for 10 years.
"The 10-year ban does not burden LaPierre's rights to freedom of speech and association, as he remains a member of the NRA and is not precluded from making any public statements or involving himself in fundraising or other outreach," the opinion said. "Neither does the monetary restitution amount constitute a fine. Instead, it serves the remedial purpose of reimbursing the NRA for the losses LaPierre caused, making it compensatory in nature."
Good.....Due to LaPierre and the board member's decades of fraud the NRA's membership was gutted like a fish and is likely to never recover.
Most gun owners have moved on to the GOA and SAF who put in the real work of protecting our 2A rights.
