North Dakota attorney general and F5 Project reach oversight agreement over alleged self-dealing and improper loans
F5 Project entered a five-year voluntary compliance agreement following a North Dakota Attorney General investigation into personal loans from charitable funds, alleged self-dealing, conflicts of interest and charity-registration issues. Reporting on the agreement said it imposes state oversight and financial controls while allowing the reentry-services nonprofit to remain open. F5 Project did not admit or deny the state's allegations.

Donor relevance
Why this matters

Attribution
Who reported or established this
The alleged violations and agreement terms were described by North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley and his office and reported by KFGO.
Evidence limits
What remains unverified
