Rightwing legal activist Leonard Leo is accused of diverting more than $73m over six years from nonprofit groups to his businesses, according to a watchdog complaint filed by the Campaign for Accountability. The complaint calls for an investigation into seven nonprofit groups linked to Leo that may be misusing millions of dollars for the personal benefit of insiders. The IRS complaint presents an accounting of more than $73m paid to Leo's for-profit businesses, BH Group and CRC Advisors, which received millions of dollars for alleged consulting, research or public relations services.
