Minnesota attorney general sued Refocus Recovery, alleging self-dealing and diversion of charitable assets
The Minnesota Attorney General filed a civil lawsuit alleging that Refocus Recovery failed to maintain lawful board governance, records and conflict controls. The complaint alleges founder and former executive director Daniel Larson used the nonprofit as a passthrough for Medicaid revenue directed to affiliated for-profit Kyros companies for his personal benefit. These are civil allegations and have not been established by a court.
