Air America Update
Brian at the Radio Equalizer reports that the $875,000 borrowed stolen from the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club by Air America Radio (AAR) has been repaid returned. Most of it ($625,000) went to other social service agencies and charitable organizations that took over functions from Gloria Wise after it was stripped of many of its responsibilities in the wake of the AAR scandal.
Brian cites a New York Sun report that “The club’s new chief executive, Fred Lewis, told the Associated Press that the investigation will likely lead to criminal charges.” And after over a year of virtual silence on the scandal, the New York Times actually reported on this story
The identities of those facing criminal charges, if they come, could indeed be revealing.
