Former NRA CFO Wilson “Woody” Phillips Ripped Us Off & Now Owes Back Millions
Among other things, Phillips was accused of approving invoices for LaPierre’s private jet flights to the Bahamas; facilitating payments to contractors owned by LaPierre's friends; and allowing an arrangement through which the NRA paid back its longtime advertising agency, Ackerman McQueen, for travel, makeup and other expenses it covered for LaPierre and his wife.
One of my takeaways is this: I’m curious why the court's decision didn’t include any measures to force the defendants to pay back the monies. It’s one thing to find that the monies are owed, but another thing to fail to include in that judgement the mechanism by which the defendants will have that money taken from them and disbursed to the "victim"…the NRA. I’m no lawyer, but that strikes me as unusual. The only reasons I can think of for a leftist AG to omit this step are to (1) deprive the NRA of funding, in order to (2) neutralize the NRA's stated mission.
Am I missing something?

Only thing I can think of is the court saw that any monies returned to the NRA would just go into Brewer's bank account.
The National Rifle Association’s new chief executive Doug Hamlin is a placeholder, according to the testimony of former NRA president Charles Cotton that points to fault lines in the gun group’s leadership. In May, board members chose Hamlin, who led the NRA’s publications arm, as Wayne LaPierre’s replacement. Hamlin is allied to a small, self-described reform bloc at the group. “The intent is to try to get, frankly, some high-powered person to take it over,” testified Cotton, a LaPierre defender whom the reformers consider part of an old guard. Cotton made his remarks in a New York courtroom where the final phase of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s lawsuit against the NRA is underway.
