USA Gymnastics is asking a U.S. Bankruptcy Court to approve $88,000 in holiday bonuses to its employees, including national teams manager Amy White, the Orange County (Calif.) Register reported. White, who allegedly acting on the orders of then USA Gymnastics chief executive Steve Penny removed from the Karolyi Ranch documents relevant to law enforcement investigations of former U.S. Olympic and national team physician Larry Nassar, is one of 40 employees USA Gymnastics wants to pay annual bonuses to. USA Gymnastics, facing dozens of civil suits filed by more than 220 survivors of Nassar’s sexual abuse as well as decertification by the U.S. Olympic Committee, filed for chapter 11 protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s Southern District of Indiana on Dec. 5.
