Ex-Boilermakers union executive sentenced to 16 months in federal racketeering case
October 5, 2026 // Brown pleaded guilty on May 23, 2024, to one count of racketeering conspiracy. In August 2024, seven more former union executives and employees — including Jones, his wife and son — were indicted for conspiracy to commit offenses under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, as well as other felonies. They were accused of scheming to steal $20 million in union funds for personal gain. The money went toward salary and benefits for jobs they didn’t show up for, tuition, rent, luxury international travel, meals, vacation payouts and unauthorized loans, the Justice Department said.
