EXCLUSIVE: Two grandchildren of Generoso Pope Sr., whose son started 'National Enquirer,' are suing their own brother over alleged corruption and “rampant self-dealing” they claim “would have outraged” the family patriarch.
In 1947, he established the Generoso Pope Foundation, a charitable organization that has, over the years, supported “well-regarded medical, educational, and cultural institutions,” according to the lawsuit, which lists such grantees as New York University Medical Center, Blythedale Children’s Hospital, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and Free Arts NYC. Pope served as the foundation’s president until his death in 1950, after which his wife Catherine assumed control.
In addition to allegedly lining his own pockets with the foundation’s money, the pair say their brother has lied to state and federal tax authorities and is excluding them from annual foundation meetings, according to the lawsuit. David also gave more than $1 million of the foundation’s money to Fairfield University between 2014 and 2020, “the time that the Pope Children applied to the college and attended it,” the suit continues, arguing that such expenditures would make Generoso Pope “cringe.”During Anthony Pope’s years as president, he paid himself an annual salary of $60,000, according to the lawsuit. In 2005, when David came in, he immediately jacked up his own salary to $98,000, it alleges.
Tomback on Friday told The Daily Beast he was not at liberty to provide further details about the supposed criminal investigation. David also paid salaries from the foundation to his wife and two sons, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, “for little to no work,” according to the lawsuit.
