Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has agreed to settle the largest bribery and money laundering scandal in state history with the massive utility that funded it.
Amount dwarfed by scale of epic utility ripoff that featured more than $61 million in bribes and a $1.3 billion bailout
Yost’s office added that the company was cooperating in state prosecutions of two former executives, and that the company had reformed in the years since the scandal. They flooded $61 million in corporate money into 501 dark money groups. From there, the money went to elect friendly Republicans who would vote to make Householder speaker of the Ohio House at the start of 2019.Sam Randazzo, Gov. Mike DeWine’s pick to chair the Public Utilities Commission, helped write and lobby for the bailout even though he was supposed to be a neutral regulator. FirstEnergy later said it paid a $4.3 million bribe to Randazzo, who, signed the bill the same day that it passed.
