In its amended complaint, the DC Attorney General’s Office alleges that Ruby Corado created three shell companies and stole millions of dollars from Casa Ruby, Inc. It notes that the Board of Directors ceded all control over the organization’s governances and finances.
“Until a receiver was appointed in September 2022, not a single individual had authority under the [Nonprofit Corporation Act] to provide oversight over Corado’s decisions.”
The DC Attorney General’s Office also noted that many of Casa Ruby’s employees were paid only $15.00 per hour — less than the District of Columbia’s minimum wage. Yet, even so, they still never received the full wages they earned.
“Many of the remaining Casa Ruby employees continued to report for work each day under increasing uncertainty about whether or when they would be paid, to whom they should report, and who was in charge of Casa Ruby.”
