HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania: A former official involved with the multibillion-dollar charitable trust that controls the Hershey candy company is claiming in a court filing that board members used the trust's considerable assets to pad their bank accounts and treat themselves to luxury hotel stays, limousine rides and free golf.
That official, Robert Reese, was fired Thursday by the Hershey Trust Co., the bank that manages the charity's money. Reese, a former top executive at the Hershey Co. candy company for 25 years, is the grandson of the man who started Reese's candy, which Hershey's bought in the 1960s.
