The lawsuit against the organization, filed Wednesday, names Christmas Bureau President Shon Washington and several former officials of the nonprofit. They are accused of illegally soliciting charitable donations and misappropriating those funds.

Sounds like people were stealing from the charity.

"A background check into Shon Washington shows that he has been convicted at least eight times on theft charges. The record also includes forgery, burglary and credit card abuse.

Such a background check was not done on Washington before he was named head of the holiday charity that historically has collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from area residents and businesses."
