He's not officially out until the end of the month and besides it's going to take years to get the smell out, assuming it can be done, so of course the 'Chicanery Continues'

You didn't read the article.

You didn't read the article.

I was mainly commenting on the clickbait headline. I failed at making that clear.

Don't be so fast to judge.  It was a comprehensive article with sources detailing hijinks during the changing of the guard.

At the time I intrepided it wrong and took it at clickbait.

That is a time-honored tradition of the Age of Internet.

A tradition carried on from newspapers

The president of Midway USA released a slobbering hagiography to commemorate LaPierre's career. You'd think he'd have enough sense to keep the big mouth shut.

There's an old saying that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Larry Potterfield is why I buy from Midway only if I can't find what I want anywhere else.

Found guilty in NY. He has to pay $4.3 million.

I don't know if the Epoch Times story is readable without a subscription, but the below was interesting. Seems like the board is still up to no good.

The jury did not find Mr. LaPierre liable for breaking laws against self-dealing regarding a post-employment contract with the NRA, valued at over $17 million. They found that the arrangement had been properly approved in advance by the NRA board.

Another article I read said LaPierre could be on the hook for $5.4 million. Still not enough, in my opinion, but better than nothing.

Many of the comments following your article, from people who are still fawning over LaPierre, were sickening.

He IS on the hook for $5.4 million, but he apparently already paid back around $1 million prior to the judgement.

And LaPierre's "post-employment contract" with the NRA is worth $17,000,000?!?! WHAT?!?!?

[WLJ]

He's laughing all the way to the suit store.
