Andrew Cuomo ordered to return $5.1M pandemic book profits to state

New York’s ethics watchdog panel ordered disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to return the $5.1 million in profits from his pandemic book deal to the state next month.

The extraordinary resolution was approved Tuesday by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics in a 12-1 vote — coming a month after the ethics agency voted to revoke its prior approval allowing Cuomo to earn outside income from his book, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” while he was still governor and New York was still battling the deadly viral bug.

“Book deals” are laundered bribes.

SWEET!

I hope that stings real good. I am not aware of how much enforcement power is behind this resolution.

[JonPreston]

Hey Andrew. Get even.

Fredo Cuomos book got cancelled as well.

He made $5.1M???

[z3n]

Help me understand this.

It was ethical for Cuomo to earn 5.1M off a book while he was still Governor?

When did it suddenly become unethical. All those nursing home patients still died either way!

When he was cancelled for feeling up the help to cover up his killing of the elderly.

Government is a tool used to reward Friends
and punish Enemies.

Could it be any more clear?
$5M comes in when you’re hot, and $5M goes out when you’re not.

Just what I was thinking. Who is buying these books? When I the last time you saw someone reading a book on a train, a plane or a waiting room? Everyone has their face in these cellphones today. Sounds to me like more money laundering is going on

[Michael.SF.]

I see a lawsuit forthcoming on this one.

As much as I despise Cuomo, I think he has a good case to not pay this money back.

Someone please post Nelson from The Simpsons

HA HA !

[Leep]

Isn’t that how osama made most of his millions?

[JudyinCanada]

Ha! Half of the money should go to “That Fox Weather B*^%&%.”

“As much as I despise Cuomo, I think he has a good case to not pay this money back.”

I tend to agree. It wasn’t unethical for him to make the money from this obvious scam while things were good...only when things went south. (Nothing against South!)
