Kentucky AG wins more than $500,000 for Kentuckians in Cash App settlement, calls consumer‑protection law a 'superpower'
Summary
Coleman said a nationwide settlement with Cash App will direct more than $500,000 to Kentuckians and emphasized the attorney general's consumer‑protection statute as a key enforcement tool, calling it one of the office's "superpowers."
Russell Coleman said a recent nationwide settlement with Cash App will deliver more than $500,000 to Kentucky consumers. He framed the result as part of a broader consumer‑protection strategy and highlighted the authority his office uses to pursue companies that harm Kentuckians.
Coleman described the consumer‑protection statute as a core enforcement tool: "I came to this job wanting to use our criminal statutes, but not fully appreciating the degree that 1 of our superpowers is...that consumer protection statute," he said, crediting the law with enabling actions from opioid cases to social‑media and fintech enforcement.
