The Tallcree First Nation and Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation allege Jeffrey Rath mismanaged their funds—$15 million and $12 million respectively—with the judge finding a strong case for improper payments. Rath denies wrongdoing, calling it a “fee dispute” and claiming he’s generated billions in economic opportunities for Indigenous communities. He’s ordered to reveal asset locations and undergo an oath exam, while a neutral reviewer will assess his finances by August 11th. The case is escalating as both nations seek his removal from financial oversight. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
