Prosecutors have refiled charges against two cousins who authorities say improperly spent a donation of roughly $150,000 from Omaha philanthropist Susie Buffett’s Sherwood Foundation.
Officials say Quincey L. Louis and Latron D. Louis didn’t use the money meant for youth YMCA parties and instead invested in a T-shirt printing company they wanted to start.
The case, first filed in April 2015, was dismissed by Douglas County District Judge Peter Bataillon in November of that year. Bataillon said there was no evidence of criminal intent.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said he still thinks there is probable cause a theft occurred.

Latron Louis, a former gang member who Buffett said was like a son in a Huffington Post article years ago, said he’s shocked that charges are being brought again. He said he and Buffett have known each other for about 10 years.
THIS shouldn't be all that hard to figure out.
Seems easy enough to prove their intent, ask for the 1040s:
“Latron and Quincey Louis told police they considered the money as income and that they planned to use the party admission prices to pay expenses for the events.”
"Good boys. Just turning they life around."
I read once that Buffet gave each of his kids $50K when they graduated and said, “Go make it on your own”. Must be one of those liberal media propagated myths, like Obama’s “rescue” dogs.
That’s supposedly true but when you control the purse strings on a billion dollar foundation. I believe the trust she manages is the one Warren’s deceased wife ran. Interesting family. They were “married,” she lived in California while Warren stayed in Nebraska.
Makes sense.
yeah and Uncle Warren was Kitty Graham’s (WAPO) boytoy, helps to have your squeeze own a brontosaurus media firm
Money the Foundation donated to Quincey L. Louis and Latron D. Louis (a former gang member who Buffett said was like his son) was diverted.
The 150 thousand dollar donation wasnt used for youth YMCA parties but for the grantees' personal use......a T-shirt printing company they wanted to start.

Since when has “I didn’t know it was a crime” been an alibi?
Why is Susie Buffett’s Foundation being so rayciss? /s
She loots like the smart one in the family...no?
She looks like the smart one in the family...no?
LOL....has absolutely no fashion sense, either.
Once again, no need to ask...
Does when Hillary Clinton does it ring a bell?
Since Horrible Hillary used it.
Wondering how much of that $150K went up those poor misunderstood boys noses?
