BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va. — New York state’s Attorney General announced last Wednesday, September 3 that the office of Letitia James has filed suit against VDARE Foundation, seeking to keep its founding members from collecting or controlling any more charitable funds from the foundation and redirecting any remaining funds to other entities.
VDARE Foundation, which operated a political blog that promoted anti-immigration viewpoints, was the purchaser of the Berkeley Castle in 2020. The group’s primary controlling members have been Peter and Lydia Brimelow, who live in Berkeley Springs with their family.
The Brimelows announced last year that they had shut down VDARE and its website in response to ongoing legal and financial troubles, including actions by the New York Attorney General Letitia James to investigate the financial oversight of the group.
VDARE was originally incorporated in New York as VDARE Foundation, Inc., a New York charitable not-for-profit corporation by founder Peter Brimelow.
