BPR: D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine is attempting to freeze the bank accounts of Casa Ruby, a Washington, D.C.-based LGBT nonprofit, and the organization’s founder has fled the country, according to The Washington Post.
Casa Ruby reportedly wasn’t paying rent on properties it had leased for shelters and housing programs and was failing to pay employees while its founder, Ruby Corado, was earning a $260,000 salary and withdrawing tens of thousands of dollars from the non-profit’s accounts, according to The Washington Post. Corado, who claims to be in El Salvador and denies any wrongdoing, stepped down in the fall of 2021 but maintains sole control over the organization’s bank accounts.
The organization brought in $3.8 million in contributions in 2020, according to its own tax filings. The organization shut down most of its operations in July, but Corado withdrew $604 July 19 and has used the nonprofit’s funds for travel-related expenses in El Salvador, according to The Washington Post. more here
A lying cheating democrat, who knew.

Of course he fled to another country, that’s where his ill gotten money really is buried!
The only good news in this story is that regressive and otherwise idiot liberals and commies most likely comprised its donor base. And probably a sprinkling of squishy rinos. Doing what they do best, pissing away money on a false cause and a scam – at least this time it was their own money and not the taxpayers.
26 ads to pass by just to get to the replies, most of the time it’s not worth the scrolling due to the vulgar language posted….
Why is it that every time I see the term “nonprofit” it is always in an article describing some type of criminal activity?

You could just spend your time on Sesame Street’s website, if you’re so offended here. Plus it’s taxpayer funded, so no ads.
@Jethro – what better way to fleece unsuspecting citizens than to tug at their heart strings. The world’s largest non-profit is the US government. They do it for a living.
@stirrin the FJB Pot — While the U.S. govt is indeed technically a non-profit, I suggest it is more aptly called anti-profit with an added wealth-destroying thrown in for good measure.
Anonymous, isn’t your real name Karen?
Cmn¢¢guy – “A lying cheating democrat… .” Why be redundant?
All the prog and most of the “conservative” NGOs and lobbying firms are just cash machines for grifter assholes. People should no better than to give money to these worthless scumbags.
Actually Uncle Al, I’ll take it one step further. It’s an illegal Ponzi Scheme. Makes Bernie Madoff look like a rank amateur.
A pox! On all their houses!
The extradition treaty between US and El Salvador exist but getting El Salvador to honor it is very difficult.
Pretty sure it’s totally in line with the culture who brought you MS13
