A lawsuit claims that the CEO of The Starboard Group — a franchisee that owns 100 Wendy's locations —used $1 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans to fund a newly-purchased home in Montana. Sandi Adler, a former vice president at Starboard, claims she was fired after taking issue with CEO Andrew Levy's plans to "defraud the United States and the Small Business Association." Starboard said in a statement that Adler's allegations were "false and hurtful," and that the decision to terminate Adler "was not made in haste or without reason."
