@tuma_jane @aakashgupta Wow!

@Simply_meme_ @aakashgupta Biden commutation at very end of term.

Rita Crundwell made $80,000 a year as the comptroller of Dixon, Illinois. She also owned 400 quarter horses, a $2.1 million motor coach, multiple farms, and 52 world championships in competitive breeding. Nobody in a town of 15,000 ever asked how. The scheme was almost boring in its simplicity. In December 1990, she opened a single bank account at Fifth Third Bank, named it "RSCDA, Reserve Fund," and listed herself as the only authorized signer. She forged 159 fake invoices from the Illinois Department of Transportation, had the city cut checks payable to "Treasurer," and deposited them into the secret account. The bank saw one city account moving money to another city account. The city's own books never recorded the deposit at all. The math is brutal. Dixon ran on an $8 to 9 million annual budget. In her final six years, Rita was stealing 28% of the entire city budget. In 2008 alone, she pulled out $5.8 million from a town that couldn't keep its fire trucks staffed. Dixon paid for every dollar. The city cut firefighter positions, deferred road repairs, and raised property taxes while Rita sat in budget meetings and blamed the state of Illinois for slow payments. Every pothole and every laid-off city worker was subsidizing a quarter horse ranch in Wisconsin. The audit structure was the real failure. Clifton Gunderson audited Dixon's books every year for two decades and signed off on every statement. They were also Rita's personal accountant. The same firm was supposed to verify her professional numbers while filing her private ones. After she was caught, Dixon sued them and collected $35.15 million. Fifth Third Bank paid another $3.85 million. The auditor and the bank paid roughly 75% of every restitution dollar the city ever recovered. She was caught because she took 16 weeks of vacation in 2011 to run her horse show circuit. City clerk Kathe Swanson pulled the bank statements to prepare a treasurer's report and found an account she had never heard of with 179 unexplained deposits. The FBI arrived within days. She got 19 years and 7 months. Released early in 2021 after serving eight. Dixon auctioned her 400 horses, her farms, her trailers, and her motor coach and recovered about $9 million from her personal estate. The largest municipal embezzlement in American history ran through one account with one signer. Every small-town government in America has the same setup.

@zackpeter Are they trying to get views on their page or what.?!! 🙄

Pima County Sheriff Dept: “Nancy has been located!” 🚨😩😩 Where is Nancy GUTHRIE?!

@Stellaaa Probably too cringe to watch now. It was a different time back then. Loved it!

Fun Fact: I’ve never actually seen an entire episode of The Hills despite living in LA a quarter of my life. I was in college & too busy/ broke for food let alone cable So now imma get caught up since LA is entering our Golden Age

@WallStreetApes Those are disgustingly high salaries.

This is literally mind blowing Spencer Pratt exposes Los Angeles Department of Water and Power salaries - Over 100 LADWP employees earn an annual compensation of over $500,000 per year each - 26 LADWP employees earn more than $600,000 thousand dollars per year - 4 top level LADWP employees earn more than $700,000 dollars a year - The LADWP has a combined water and power budget of 11 billion dollars I looked into it further, and get this 100% of leadership and oversight of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are aligned with Democrats Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass appointed the 5 member Board of Water and Power Commissioners, which sets policy and approves major decisions like executive hires and salaries California is essentially run by the mafia They are literally giving themselves $500,000 -$800,000 EACH and this is just one department

@RonaldRichards @17HockeyStud @erikajayne Thank you. Can you say why someone want to sell a $25 million dollar claim for $2 Million? Would that be advantageous for Erika Girardi to have someone buy it for her? Then she can settle at $2 Mill? Is this a common thing to buy lawsuits rights? Is there a market for lawsuits?

@Simply_meme_ @17HockeyStud @erikajayne A third-party bought the active lawsuit against Erika Gerardi for $2 million. It has to be approved by the Bankruptcy court they will take over prosecuting the lawsuit as they will own the claim.

🚨🚨🚨Girardi bk judge sets April 23, 2026 emergency sale date. Trustee filed all pretrial docs. Erika is facing an existential threat that will bankrupt her and her companies. New legal team gearing up for trial on fraudulent transfers. Borges her longtime attorney is in a legal quagmire. Erika is cornered. Will Wilkes overbid and save her? Will @BravoTV save her?

@kristenmag Nope. The money is going to a secret place… what a sham!

Governor Ferguson gave out $56 million in childcare grants and he won’t even tell us who the recipients are. That’s our money. We have a right to know exactly how it’s spent!

Can they be more tone deaf? Nancy has been located? They are just toying with the media and public at this point.

@PodcastSTS They don’t need an indictment to file charges and arrest.
