Veronica Jones: "California charity Help Hospitalized Veterans pays $2.5 million fine"

The California company "Help Hospitalized Veterans", a charity that creates kits to help challenge and pass time for veterans while they are recovering from medical treatment, has finally been fined almost a year after being accused and proven of the misuse of donated funds. In 2012, it was revealed that HHV has been spending most of it's funds for personal use. The use of these funds have gone towards the paychecks of high ranking employees (including, their president Michael Lynch) as well as memberships to country clubs. Now they are being forced to pay a 2.5 million dollar fine and also made the offending officials still currently working with them to resign. Though the charity originally denied those claims, since having been fined they have adamantly apologized. However,  it's going to take much more than "40 years of service" to regain the people's trust.From afar, it seems like the charity finally got what's coming to them. It appears as though justice is being served and California is making an example of what happens to lying charities. However, this settlement leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sure, the people responsible were fired and the charity has lost its reputation, but what about the people who already got away with it? This charity has been under suspicion since 2008, while their former president Roger Chapin was in office, and is only now being charged. Meaning, for at least a few years, multiple people have benefitted off of money meant to help those who serve this country. 
Not to mention, the biggest victim, the veterans. Because of this charity's misuse of funds, veterans now lose one more things that they should be allowed to benefit from.
