According to a July 9, 2008 article in the New York Times, Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN’s founder, Wade Rathke, “embezzled nearly $1 million from Acorn and affiliated charitable organizations in 1999 and 2000.” The Times reported Dale Rathke embezzled $948,607.50, “carried as a loan on the books of Citizens Consulting Inc., which provides bookkeeping, accounting and other financial management services to Acorn and many of its affiliated entities.” ACORN “chose to treat the embezzlement of nearly $1 million eight years ago as an internal matter and did not even notify its board.” According to an October 10, 2008 New York Times report, ACORN “had failed to disclose the theft for eight years.” Dale Rathke remained on ACORN’s payroll until June 2008, when news broke of his wrongdoing.

Oh Hell. I thought it was just one million...
“”Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell charged that the embezzlement of one million dollars was actually FIVE Million:””
Supposedly the DNC or someone with huge campaign contributions helped to cover the million dollars embezzlement. I guess with this revelation that someone helped to cover five million dollars not one million!!! A lot of money floating around out there to cover up and buy all sorts of stuff - including the WH.
Now we can believe that Rathke, his brother and the squirrel group has officially been abandoned by Soros and his boy, Obizmal. SEIU must fall next.
A lot of untracable money showed up in the Obozo campaign coffers.
LOL. Fugly stick x 10
save for later
