https://abcnews.go.com/US/former-nra-executive-joshua-powell-pleads-guilty-fraud/story?id=106159356 >Former NRA executive pleads guilty to fraud, agrees to testify in New York AG trial Former National Rifle Association operations director Joshua Powell has settled civil claims of fraud and abuse brought by the New York Attorney General's office.
The admission comes hours after Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the NRA, announced his resignation ahead of a trial scheduled to begin Monday. LaPierre cited health reasons, according to the NRA. The resignation will be effective Jan. 31.
Powell was employed by the NRA from 2016 through January 2020 and in that time "Powell breached his fiduciary duties and failed to administer the charitable assets entrusted to his care by using his powers as an officer and senior executive of the NRA to convert charitable assets for his own benefit and for the benefit of his family members," the settlement agreement said.
"Joshua Powell's admission of wrongdoing and Wayne LaPierre's resignation confirm what we have alleged for years: the NRA and its senior leaders are financially corrupt," New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement Saturday.
National Retard Ass-ociation
The attorney general is suing the NRA, which is registered in New York as a non-profit charitable corporation, and its senior management for misappropriating millions of dollars to fund personal benefits, including private jets, family vacations and luxury goods. The NRA tried to file bankruptcy in 2021 but a federal judge rejected its petition, saying "the NRA did not file the bankruptcy petition in good faith." As part of his settlement, Powell admitted he breached his fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and obedience by using the NRA's charitable assets for his own benefit and the benefit of his family. He also admitted he failed to administer the charitable assets entrusted to his care properly. He agreed to pay $100,000 in restitution and accept a permanent bar from serving as an officer in a nonprofit. He also agreed to testify against LaPierre and others at trial. LaPierre previously said the New York AG's lawsuit was an "unconstitutional, premeditated attack aiming to dismantle and destroy the NRA -- the fiercest defender of America's freedom at the ballot box for decades."

I don't trust this far left liberal, and not just because She's black and trying to make a name for herself trying tRump.
She exaggerated these charges and even cooked the books to make the NRA leadership look worse than it is.
Why is the NRA a 'charity'?
I can see using the collected funds to fight the curtailing of our 2nd amendment rights, which is what happened, so where's the fraud if LaPierre wants a few perks?
Televangelists do much worse and "Letisha letitia latoya lalala etc" dont go after them, so it's all political

The NRA itself which is what lapierre was stealing from does hunters education, boy scouts rifle shooting, shooting competitions, how to use a gun courses and eddie the eagle child gun safety courses.

>>1254287 its not again, its the same case that has been dragging on since 2016 when the media flipped out because "russians funneled $2,500 to the NRA to buy republican politicians", which wasn't even the right branch of the NRA to do that and since the NRA headquarters were in NY one of the states attorneys was trying to use it as an excuse to kill the whole org because a handful of guys were embezzling. like imagine shutting down planned parenthood because like 5 guys were eating babies and selling baby organs. Even the ACLUjews are providing legal defense for the NRA over this because its obviously political bullshit to try to shut down the org instead of just throwing lapierre in jail.

>>1254759 you don't, because you never put out actual solutions to get it to stop and usually do the opposite. school shootings are usually blacks shooting other blacks in an escalation of violence due to gangs and drugs. Obongo, brandon and the dems have made it harder for schools to suspend or expel black boys and dems won't throw blacks in jail for violence. Hell, that would also help solve the bullying issue if you think that is a major source of school shooters, but obongo and brandon made it clear that bullies and bad behaving kids are more important than normal kids
