The longtime manager the CBS Employees Federal Credit Union has been arrested and charged with embezzling more than $40 million from his employer over the past 20 years. Edward Rostohar faces felony counts of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.

In conjunction with the arrest, the National Credit Union Administration — a federal agency that regulates credit unions — announced Friday that it has liquidated the CBS Employees Federal Credit Union and shut down its operations. University Credit Union immediately assumed CBS Employees’ assets.

WOW! Instead of the far left being preoccupied with witch hunts, maybe they can focus on real corruption. Paging Adam Schiff........Real Americans are holding on line two...But I digress, I'm not holding my breath.

They were too busy destroying the reputations of people like General Flynn and calling in the swat teams on Roger Stone.

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of prison.

This fellow had worked at the government agency that audits credit unions before he got the job at CBS. He knew a lot about how the audits work and what to do to avoid being caught.

The giveaway is when an employee is obviously living large - gambling, fancy cars, vacations, etc.

I agree, someone wasn’t paying attention, and the auditors were less than thorough.

I’m on a credit union board of directors, and while I wouldn’t say “it can’t happen here,” I think we would spot something like this.

True “Prior to his 30 years of employment at the CBS Employees credit union, Rostohar was an examiner at NCUA, court documents state.”

A parallel universe to the deepstate. And to think this guy wasted away the last 20 years when the deepstate would have welcomed his “expertise” into congress.

Another fine example of why an outsider such as DJT was elected.

A win win. Criminal arrested and employees of a DNC propaganda organ get the purple shaft. What’s not to like?

Actually, they are Federally insured. The depositors are safe. Premiums will probably go up, which will negatively impact all other credit unions, and their depositors.

An acquaintance of ours who lives nearby was just charged with embezzling six million or so from clients of his financial services firm. Makes you wonder...how do they think they won’t be caught eventually? Or is it white guilt making them WANT to be caught? < /sarc >
