The Viet America Society, a nonprofit with ties to O.C. Supervisor Andrew Do and his 22-year-old daughter, will have more time to show what it did with millions of taxpayer dollars, the organization’s attorney told The Orange County Register .
Attorney Sterling Scott Winchell said in an interview Thursday with the paper that the nonprofit will be able to prove how it spent $4 million earmarked for meals during the pandemic.
The county has been seeking transaction records for more than a year, according to warning letters from the county’s OC Community Resource department. A pair of deadlines, on March 14 and March 18, came and went earlier this month without the nonprofit providing transaction records and other details as required by the county , according to county spokespeople.
Supervisor Do and the three other supervisors didn’t immediately return LAist’s messages for comment.
On Thursday, the nonprofit’s Huntington Beach office had a sign on its door from the building owner saying the suite was available for lease.
