<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nA number of people have sent us links to the story<\/a> of Patricia Driscoll, the former girlfriend of Kurt Busch, the NASCAR driver, who looted Armed Forces Foundation<\/a>, a charity set up to help service members and their families. Prosecutors aren’t sure how much money she took from the coffers of the altruistic organization, but she’s suspected of taking nearly $600,000 to use for personal expenses.<\/p>\n Driscoll was indicted on seven federal charges: two counts each of wire fraud, mail fraud, and tax evasion, and one count of attempts to interfere with administration of Internal Revenue laws. She also faces a first degree fraud charge under District of Columbia law.<\/p>\n An 11-page indictment charges Driscoll with using foundation money to pay her personal bills, diverting foundation funds to her personal bank account and lying to the Internal Revenue Service about her salary and benefits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n According to their website, the Foundation’s purpose;<\/p>\n Through direct assistance programs, awareness and advocacy campaigns, we seek to honor the military population for its service, improve military-to-civilian reintegration efforts, and preserve our fighting forces for the future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I guess Driscoll lost sight of the overarching purpose of the organization. She resigned last year after 12 years of running the Foundation like it’s her personal ATM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
