The organizers of Generation Now, an Ohio-based political group, have pled guilty in federal court to participating in a $60-million racketeering conspiracy to aid a major utility provider.

The charges involve funds sent to Generation Now— a 501(c)4 group defined by the IRS as a “social welfare organization”— from FirstEnergy Corp. and its affiliates. The money was then used for political donations to help secure the votes of state House members in support of a 2019 bill that bailed out two nuclear power plants formerly owned by FirstEnergy.
