As David Jolly aims to turn Florida governor's office blue, he confronts his prior ties to an alleged fraudster

TL;DR

David Jolly's Democratic gubernatorial campaign is facing questions about his past employment with Leo Govoni, who is accused of defrauding a nonprofit.
Jolly claims he was an employee at a separate company and was unaware of the alleged theft, which he states occurred after he left Govoni's employ.
Federal prosecutors allege Govoni used Jolly's former workplace, Boston Finance Group, to enrich himself, with millions transferred from the nonprofit during Jolly's tenure.
Court documents do not indicate Jolly's knowledge of or involvement in the alleged scheme, and he has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
Jolly's campaign states he has been transparent about the matter since it became public and never had financial oversight of Govoni's businesses.
The case involves a nonprofit, the Center for Special Needs Trust Administration (CSNT), which allegedly lent up to $100 million to Boston Finance Group, with much of the money reportedly used for personal enrichment.
The alleged scheme has impacted individuals like Chase McMinn, whose settlement funds meant for his care reportedly disappeared.
Jolly's wife also worked for a Govoni-run firm, and Govoni's son worked in Jolly's congressional office.
