About one-fourth of the 76-member board collected money, The Post reports, citing tax filings, state charitable reports and other correspondence. The board members are not paid as directors of the organization.

Among the 18 known members who received NRA funds, a former professional football player got $400,000 for public outreach and firearms training, while a New Mexico writer received more than $28,000 to write articles for the organization’s publications, and a third person sold ammunition from his private company to the NRA for an unknown amount.

3. It's no different than any other organized crime scheme

or even Wall Street. You gotta cut the other players in on the deal or they will rat on you (or worse, steal it first). Once you entice and corrupt them too, you can steal as much as you want.
