Ohio employer accused of spending workers' retirement savings on yacht club

Original: Ohio boss allegedly spent workers’ retirement savings on yacht club dues. Is your 401(k) money where you think it is?

An Ohio employer is accused of diverting employees' retirement contributions to personal expenses, including yacht club membership dues, rather than depositing the money into their 401(k) accounts. The case is prompting workers elsewhere to double-check that money withheld from their paychecks is actually reaching their retirement accounts, and renewed calls for closer oversight of employers who handle employee contributions.

Why now: A striking allegation of retirement funds being misused raises widespread concern about the safety of workers' own 401(k) money.
