Scandals & crimes ledger

settledPride Mobility Products customer-referral program settlement (2002) business
financial/corruption · · U.S. government (federal investigation; settled administratively) · Pride Mobility paid $80,000 to settle a government investigation into its customer referral program.
This is a business-entity matter, not a personal one. In 2002, Pride Mobility Products, the family company where Dan Meuser was an executive, paid $80,000 to settle a government investigation. The investigation found a Pride customer-referral program (intended to connect consumers with product retailers) non-compliant because retailers were required to pay Pride between $10 and $25 per referral rather than a flat annual fee.

Pride Mobility Products, where Dan Meuser served as president, was fined $41,000 by the INS for hiring three undocumented workers in 1995. The company appealed and the fine was negotiated down to $23,000, which was paid. Pride maintained the workers had presented fraudulent documentation before E-Verify existed. The matter was a civil employer-sanction enforcement action against the company. The incident surfaced as a campaign issue during Meuser's 2008 congressional primary race.
