Two Oklahoma businessmen will be in court in Oklahoma City on March 25 on charges that they bilked taxpayers out of millions of dollars through a charter school that they controlled.
David Lee Chaney and Benjamin Scott Harris, former heads of Epic Charter Schools in Oklahoma, are facing 15 criminal counts. They include racketeering, embezzlement, using a computer system or computer network to execute a scheme to defraud, presenting false claims to the state, acquiring unlawful proceeds in excess of $50,000, obtaining money by false pretenses, and money laundering.
