Rokita seeks recoup from shady online charter
Todd Rokita s first actions as Indiana attorney general looked like much of the blatantly partisan work he did as secretary of state and as a congressman. But his announcement Monday of a lawsuit seeking to recover $154 million from unscrupulous online charter school operators is welcome news for Indiana taxpayers.
It s the work we hope he will continue to do.
“This massive attempt to defraud Hoosier taxpayers through complex schemes truly boggles the mind,” Rokita said in a statement. “This case demonstrates once again that public servants must remain ever vigilant in our work to safeguard the public treasury from opportunists.”

CROWN POINT, Ind. (Inside INdiana Business) The state has received a $1.3 million default judgment against a debt collection agency in Munster that was accused of engaging in “abusive and deceptive business practices.” Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita’s office alleges that New Britain Financial LLC violated the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act on numerous occasions.
Former Attorney General Curtis Hill filed a civil complaint last September, accusing New Britain and its owner, Nelson Macwan of Illinois, of threatening consumers with lawsuits, arrest, garnishments and liens without having judgments against the consumers. The company was also accused of acting as a debt collection agency from Indiana without a license.
