Former SUWA treasurer pleads guilty

In chosing the headline that he/she did, was it the editor's intent to cast unwarranted aspersions on SUWA? The fraud that the two men were accused of (and to which they pled guilty) had nothing to do with SUWA. So why choose a headline that suggests an association? Just glancing at the headline, it looks like SUWA, as an organization, has been involved in criminal activity. It makes one suspect a political motivation.

Mr. Wilson says that SUWA was not "directly" involved in its directors' securities frauds. This is a pregnant acknowledgement that SUWA was at minimum indirectly involved in the frauds. SUWA should thoroughly explain just what its involvement was. Did proceeds of the frauds committed by SUWA's directors flow into SUWA's bank accounts? Has SUWA had to disgorge any funds? SUWA should immediately open all of its financial records for inspection by the media and others.
