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.
