The alleged financial improprieties of the Washington Commanders took another turn Tuesday. In a letter from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to the Federal Trade Commission, the Committee alleges that the Commanders and owner Daniel Snyder may have concealed or withheld ticket revenue and other related funds.
The House Committee uncovered the alleged improprieties during its ongoing investigation into the organization’s workplace culture.
According to Mark Maske and Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, the Commanders “‘may have engaged in a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct’ that allegedly involved withholding as much as $5 million in refundable deposits from season ticket holders and also hiding money that was supposed to be shared among NFL owners.”
