From today's Wall Street Journal:
A New York jury on Friday ordered the National Rifle Association’s former longtime leader Wayne LaPierre to pay more than $4.3 million back to the gun-rights group for misspending its charitable funds.
A six-person jury in Manhattan deliberated for five days before finding the NRA, LaPierre and two other executives liable for violating state charity laws.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Good, the real intent of the law suit was to abolish the NRA. Hopefully this sends a message to the rest of the clowns running that organization its not their private piggy bank.

Good that WLP has to pay restitution. Now, hopefully, the Board got the message to get its poop together, reorganize, reform and rebuild the NRA.

The NY government minions thought they were destroying the NRA, and they may have saved it in the long run.

I agree this was an attack on the NRA.
Turns out, it may have been exactly what they needed to have another chance. I hope they get it right.

Good! I let my membership lapse when the story broke about him using member funds to buy $250k worth of clothes and they did nothing about it! It’s way past time this grifter is shown the way out. He seemed to do some good early on but it quickly became all about the money. Maybe the NRA can finally get back to it’s stated mission.

If WLP is worth $20M, then this $4M is like the % hit his portfolio took from covid.

I hope that it bankrupts him! memtb I recently read that WLP got a $17 million severance package. Is that possible? In this stupid world of course its possible. Out here in Oregon I use to bank at Washington Mutual. They hired this guy to take charge of the Bank, and six weeks later it folded. however in his contract. he had a clause that said if he was asked to leave or the bank folded, that he got a severance package that was worth about 120 million. Can't recall if it went to court, but he got his 120 million.. or some ridiculous figure like that. Like the fines NY Courts gave to Donald Trump recently.. Sorry, I have NO LOVE for Wayne LaPierre, but I have even less use for NY Courts and the stupid sums they come up with as fines. So I hope that big demands get thrown out... States like NY which is ran by DemocRATS are constantly running big "FINES" on people, companies etc. Who does that money go to? THEM. Screw them on all of these damn FINES BS. The government, especially leftists, are always trying to milk the world out of money, for their cash cow expenses.... You have one crook robbing another crook. Adding some sort of reverence to "crooks". I say SCREW NEW YORK COURTS, PERIOD! a side note, Wayne LaPierre.... anyone else notice the fact that in French, Pierre is Peter in English. So his name in English would be Wayne The Peter.... or Wayne the Dick for short. At least his last name was correctly applied in his case... he certainly is a pompous DICK.!

I’ve always been of the opinion that the “CEO” of any nonprofit should have a salary cap, an across the board salary cap! Susan G Komen…Red Cross, United Way, Moveon.org, NRA….every one of them should be limited in their ability to steal from the charitable giving of their donors!
