Fairfax County School Board member accused of embezzling $175K for 'strip clubs,' 'vacations,' and more
Elissa Salamy April 5, 2025 | 2:41pm EDTFAIRFAX COUNTY, VA - A lawsuit filed against Fairfax County School Board member Kyle McDaniel by a local flight school accuses him of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from the business — including using the company credit card for entertainment, personal expenses and campaign-related expenses.
They also say he continued to embezzle after getting caught and paying some of the money back.
By the numbers:
McDaniel is accused of embezzling $175,000 from flight school Blue Label Aviation. He's alleged to have spent the money on luxuries like strip clubs as well as to subsidize his campaign for office, according to the lawsuit.
Blue Label Aviation filed a lawsuit last month, alleging that McDaniel used his position as Secretary and Treasurer of the company to access its credit cards and bank accounts.
In June 2024, Timothy Fischer, Blue Label's CEO, confronted McDaniel on $120,000 of improper charges. McDaniel confessed and paid back $50,000.
In December 2024, Fischer discovered that McDaniel had "expanded his use of the company's credit cards and bank accounts for his personal expenses" and charged $160,000 on personal expenses. . . .
