NRA declared bankruptcy for a tactical reason: to avoid the reach of the New York attorney general. Last year, the attorney general sought a court's approval to dissolve the NRA, alleging a wide variety of financial misconduct, chiefly by the NRA's top executive: CEO Wayne LaPierre. The group asked a federal bankruptcy judge to halt its other legal cases and allow it to reorganize in Texas, where it might be out of the reach of New York's attorney general. But the monthlong trial painted the picture of an organization in crisis, with some of the sharpest criticism coming from current or former organization insiders. Testimony included examples of the nonprofit organization's tax-exempt funds being used for wedding expenses, private jet travel and exotic getaways. For example, LaPierre's private travel consultant, who was paid $26,000 a month to cater to him personally, testified about how LaPierre instructed her to alter travel invoices for private jets so as to hide their true destinations. During questioning, he admitted to annual trips to the Bahamas, where he would stay on a luxury yacht belonging to an NRA vendor — a conflict of interest he did not disclose at the time, which testimony and court proceedings showed was in contravention of NRA policy. Instead, he justified the Caribbean trips to the court as a "security retreat" that was necessary for his safety and that of his family members.
NRA申请破产是为了在德州重组,以避免NY检察长对他们财务问题的调查,联邦法官当然要拒绝。枪人们的会费都用于CEO的挥霍了,还涉及到不少腐败交易。
