Funds returned to Second Harvest Food Bank after settlement with scam charity
Attorney General Dave Yost announced Thursday that the money raised for the Second Harvest Food Bank by a phony charity will be returned to the food bank, according to a news release from Yost.
“These scammers preyed on generous donors to try to line their own pockets, but ultimately were stopped and shut down,” Yost said in a statement. On June 1, Yost announced a settlement that would require the Ohio Clean Water Fund’s founder to pay $116,904.88 in restitution to the food bank and a $15,000 civil penalty. This came after Yost sued the charity in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court.
Today’s settlement now reads that the founder of the Ohio Clean Water Fund must pay a $25,000 civil penalty and is permanently banned from incorporating, operating or soliciting for any charity in Ohio.
