He Took $218,000 - And the Fund Held Eleven Dollars

Fear that a trusted treasurer quietly erased $218,000 while a bronze plaque celebrated donors - and the account behind that plaque had exactly eleven dollars when noticed. How did handwritten notes, routing numbers traced by a paralegal student, and a one-letter alias hide a trail of forty-seven transfers totaling hundreds of thousands?

In this episode, you’ll hear the sequence of events that led from donations to disappearance, the roles of the treasurer, donors, and the bank records, and the moment the plaque went up while the fund was nearly empty - what connected those visible facts into one case?
