AG Ellison announced he has filed a lawsuit against David Singleton, five Minnesota nonprofits for which Singleton serves as president, and a for-profit legal consulting business owned by Singleton, seeking to end Singleton’s longstanding fraudulent and deceptive behavior.

“It is appalling that the defendant founded and used nonprofits not to help Minnesotans, but to defraud them and leave chaos and confusion in his wake. My office launched this investigation and filed this lawsuit because we will not allow nonprofits to be used to deceive and cheat Minnesotans and we cannot allow nonprofits to serve as a guise for their leadership to enrich themselves. I’m grateful to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and the Nicollet County Attorney’s Office for sharing their concerns about Mr. Singleton’s conduct with my office, as well as to the everyday Minnesotans who filed complaints about Singleton and his fraudulent charities. Reports like these are instrumental in catching bad actors and holding them accountable.” – AG Ellison
