Sad, yet possibly justified in this case.

McIntyre claims that the corporations distributed at least $20,000 to Andre Cushing’s political campaigns. An unspecified amount went to his political action committee, the complaint alleged.

Loans totalling nearly $1.4 million allegedly were made from one corporation to another but just $150,000 was approved by shareholders, the complaint said. The family’s stock portfolio fell from more than $1.4 million in 1999 to less than $17,000 in 2014.

McIntyre also claims that since her father, Andre Cushing Jr., died in December 2013, her brother has exerted “control and undue influence over [their mother] Jane Cushing.

“What is crystal clear from what we have discovered with the assistance of a highly experienced fraud examiner is that this corporation with its once significant assets was being illegally gutted, year in and year out,” McIntyre’s attorney Walter McKee of Augusta said Sunday in an email.
