Dorsey declared bankruptcy on October 16,2019 (Wash Post,11–07–2019) just prior to being re-elected to a term on the Arlington County Board in November 2019. [3] Although under no legal obligation to do so,and running largely unopposed,Mr. Dorsey did not notify the public of his bankruptcy,which he later clarified,"In retrospect,I should have had a conversation with the community,no matter how difficult,when I filed for bankruptcy in mid-October..." [4]
Further in November 2019 Mr. Dorsey was stripped of his chairmanship of the Washington Metro's Finance Committee for failing to disclose an $10,000 donation from Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 for 4 months. Mr. Dorsey pledged to return the funds,but in January 2020 falsely said [5] he'd already returned the funds. In February he appears to have written another check,only for it to remain uncashed for 5 months. When pressed he claimed the union told him the check had been lost in the mail. The funds remained unreturned until July 30,2020 [6] when Dorsey submitted a picture of a cashier's check to various news outlets. In December 2020,a federal Bankruptcy Judge dismissed Dorsey's bankruptcy case,agreeing with the bankruptcy trustee that Dorsey had made an "overt misrepresentation" to the court;the dismissal came under a United States Code section reserved for cases of bankruptcy fraud.
