Dangy Knutson was awarded $617,800 in damages in Orange County Superior Court after a jury found that Richard J. Foster (a national and international aquatic sports power broker) committed a breach of fiduciary duty and fraud by willful concealment while advising her to accept a financial settlement with USA Swimming, the sport’s national governing body, in a dispute over a promise of financial support by former U.S. national team director Mark Schubert. “I would appreciate your help resolving a situation involving Dagny Knutson and Kate Ziegler,” Foster began a Nov. 10, 2010 email to Wielgus.
