This charge alleges Shurtleff accepted a series of payments and gifts from Jeremy Johnson. The St. George businessman and related companies and individuals gave tens of thousands of dollars to Shurtleff's political campaigns. Those included $50,000 from Johnson's I Works company that came after several citations from the Utah Division of Consumer Protection stretching back to 2003. In about February 2011, after Johnson and I Works were sued by the Federal Trade Commission and after he had started corresponding with Shurtleff and Swallow about the legality of processing poker payments in Utah, Shurtleff stayed at a Johnson house in St. George known as the "Green House" and also took trips using Johnson's jet.
