    Former NRA chief Wayne LaPierre misspent gun rights group's money and
    owes more than $4M, jury finds

    The longtime head of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre,
    misspent millions of dollars of the organization's money, 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 found LaPierre, 74, must repay almost $4.4 million to the
    powerful gun rights group that he led for three decades, while the
    NRA's retired finance chief, Wilson Phillips, owes $2 million. Jurors
    also found that the NRA failed to properly manage its assets, omitted
    or misrepresented information in its tax filings and violated
    whistleblower protections under New York law.

    When opportunity is available, this behavior is not uncommon for
    white/blue collar workers.
