Commanders to pay $1.3M to settle Va. probe

The Washington Commanders settled a $1.3 million agreement with the Virginia Attorney General following a probe into mishandled season ticket deposits. The investigation revealed that the team's prior ownership unlawfully retained security deposits for years. Current ownership cooperated with the investigation and agreed to refund deposits and pay penalties. The Commanders must refund remaining deposits or remit them to state unclaimed property departments, as well as pay civil penalties and attorney fees. The settlement resolves issues from the past ownership era and aims to rectify consumer harm.
