Quote:Disgraced former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo is ordered by NY state commission to RETURN $5.1m proceeds of his self-congratulatory 'American Crisis' COVID memoir
- Ex-NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo was ordered Tuesday to turn over all proceeds from his pandemic book deal to the state AG’s office within the next 30 days
- The ruling from the the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) comes after the agency announced a probe reassessing its approval of the 2020 tell-all
- The ethics agency commission voted 12-1 on Tuesday to order the ousted governor to fork over his memoir's profits to the state Attorney General's office
- Multiple investigations by the state watchdog group found that Cuomo used state resources to produce and promote the book, penned during the pandemic
- The ruling puts state AG Letitia James in the hot seat, after her office's probe into sexual harassment allegations against the then-governor led to his resignation
- Cuomo touted himself as a hero in the book in regards to his handling of the pandemic - despite being embroiled in a scandal over NY's nursing home deaths
This is the best way to hurt political dirt bags who scam the system for personal gain. Maybe some of the seniors he condemned to death via nursing home covid assignments at least have something to be thankful for in the after life. I would rather the money be given to the surviving family members of the nursing home residents who perished because of Cuomo's idiocracy.
