Coweta Samaritan Clinic Returns Donation Amidst Ponzi Scheme Allegations

Newnan, GA – July 23, 2025 – The Coweta Samaritan Clinic has returned an unsolicited charitable donation received from The Liberty Group in October 2022.This action was taken in light of serious allegations that The Liberty Group and its principal, Brant Frost IV, were engaged in a Ponzi scheme, as detailed in recent court filings.

The Clinic was unaware of any impropriety on the part of The Liberty Group or Mr. Frost at the time the donation was received.Kelly Hines, Executive Director of Coweta Samaritan Clinic, stated, “As a faith-based organization committed to the highest ethical standards and the trust of our community, we believe it is our obligation to respond swiftly and transparently when questions of financial impropriety arise.” The Clinic has returned the funds in full to the Court-Appointed Receiver and will continue to cooperate with any necessary proceedings.

Steve Swope, the Treasurer of the samaritan Clinic, added, “When the news about The Liberty Group and Mr. Frost first came to light, we quickly decided that we cannot, in good conscience keep funds that were wrongfully, and possibly illegally, taken from investors by The Liberty Group and then donated to our Clinic.” While it was not a large donation,the Clinic believes it is proper to return the funds to the Receiver for distribution to victims of the alleged Ponzi scheme.

The Coweta Samaritan Clinic remains dedicated to providing free, compassionate medical care to uninsured adults in Coweta County. The Clinic is grateful for the continued support of donors who share its mission of service, integrity, and community health.
