"Ron Tully, synthetic nicotine entrepreneur and a former board member at the Vapor Technology Association (VTA), has been charged with mail fraud. Federal prosecutors say Tully stole more than $833,000 between 2009 and 2016 from a tobacco industry council.

Tully is best known to vapers from his company Next Generation Labs, which manufactures synthetic nicotine. But before that, Tully had a long career in the tobacco industry.

It is unclear when Tully was removed from the VTA board, but the leadership page was removed from the trade group’s website yesterday, and today Tully’s name is no longer listed. He is not charged with any financial malfeasance involving VTA. According to statement from the group (see below), Tully has resigned from the VTA board."

The Vaping Legion knew that this guy was dirty for close to a year now but they never had concrete proof.
