Pa. Sup. Ct. hears case of illegal diversion of charity $. Refuses to release name of the charity.

8. Update: a little more info was released. President Judge says he can't talk about it.

This case is still before the PA. Supreme Court - of whether an attorney for a charitable organization is allowed to report wrong-doing to the PA. Attorney General, or whether the confidentiality of that attorney is "most sacred" as the charity claims.

"The attorney argued in the unsealed petition that she had a responsibility to report the suspected theft because nonprofits ultimately exist to serve the public, and that resources controlled by nonprofits are held in trust on the public’s behalf.

“When [the lawyer] had reason to believe that the corporation was diverting public charitable resources into private pockets, she was at least permitted, if not obliged, to disclose that information to the attorney general,” the unsealed appeal petition said."

Here's what the Supreme Court has decided to let you see - almost all of it is blanked out.

Meanwhile, during a court hearing this week on a somewhat similar matter, the President Judge of the Commonwealth Court specifically said he is not allowed to reveal anything about this case.
