From 2012 to 2024? And nobody noticed anything? I suspect that it was small amounts disguised as legitimate payments across many projects. Just kidding. Probably the auditors were phoning it in and missed obvious fraud. That is the border County. Very lightly populated. Maybe 40,000? That's a lot of missing money per capita. |

"Gut" is 'good' in German and 'Fahren' is to travel. Beat ya! So you did! But I just noticed something else: the attorney general mentioned in the article is named "Argentieri", which is appropriate for someone investigating a monetary fraud ("argent" coming from the Latin word for "silver" and meaning "money" in French) |

From 2012 to 2024? And nobody noticed anything? Enforcement of the law in the United States is lax except for murder and robbing banks. That is why criminals commit crimes with impunity, especially members of the government who are considered to be fine upstanding pillars of the community and thus above any suspicion. Capitalism by it's nature creates a caste system with tiers of social status regardless if anyone wishes to acknowledge that or not. |

I've heard of that place.
It's likely there's a ton of Federal funds flowing thru that area, too. All the more reason nobody would notice.
