This sounds like a small-scale version of what happened to our tax dollars (and out children’s and grandchildren’s) thanks to DiFi and her cohort.
Since DiFi has been using Durkee since ‘92, I’d say it’s a ton of moolah. One could also say DiFi’s a turkey for using Durkee...
I am confused by all this. There was no crime. Its simply a matter of Democrats “sharing the wealth” of other Democrats. This is what Obama campaigned for in 2008... :0)
So Di got ripped off for about $5 mill. With her husband’s China connections which Di facilitates using her office.....Di will raise that, and double it in no time.

All these Democrats using one treasurer? Money laundering?
I would suspect that if these folks plead “victim” their coffers will quickly refill with maybe a little surplus.
I will bet she and Miss I can’t decide whether I want to be caucasian or hispanic stole the money for themselves.
I am struck about how much this reminds me of Madoff and his fraud against his affinity group. When you have a crook committing theft against “fellow believers”, the crook has an additional shield against discovery because the suspicion first has to get past the affinity barrier.
What did she do with all that $$..drugs? nah.. a habit that size would have killed her by now...I bet it’s gambling...
I guess $14,000,000,000,000.00+.
I hope she stole it all and spent it. Not a dime back to difi scum. But then again the bank will probably reimburse every penny.
I sure as hell hope somebody robbed this b!tch blind!
Kinda Porkee to me.
An excellent tactic to reduce Democratic ranks.
Before this is over, the mediots will try to make this embezzler a friend of Sarah Palin, a lover of Perry and a buddy of Rush, and finance chairman of the tea party.
Apparently, she has been looting the math dumb liberals for years if not decades:
Handcuffed Kinde (or, How Durkee Became The Delinquent Democrat)
Sunday, September 4, 2011 posted by South Bay Sunnycrest
Although many of us are enjoying the Labor Day weekend holidays with friends & family, one of the most interesting news items for politicos this weekend could be unfolding right now for Democratic politicians across the state.
As reported by the Associated Press, longtime Democratic operative Kinde Durkee was arrested on Friday by FBI agents on suspicion of mail fraud. Durkee, as any of our liberal, Democratic friends would tell you, has been the campaign treasurer for hundreds of candidates and elected officials across California for decades. Her client list extends to 113 separate committees for left-leaning candidates, PACs, and causes.
According to the AP, the state FPPC (Fair Political Practices Commission) has had to come down on her multiple times for failing to report transactions. San Diego’s Ethics Commission has even dinged her for similar offenses.
Talk about guilt by association, folks. The hit piece potential from this could upend many established Democrats up and down the state, notably in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. The full list of clients can be found here, thanks to our friends at Sacramento Bee.
Durkee’s web of clients even extends down to us in America’s Finest County. One of those San Diego-based candidates/electeds who hired Durkee is none other than South Bay’s evenly sketchy Arlie Ricasa — as if there’s not enough dirt on her already. Birds of a feather, right?
Durkee is expected to make her first appearance in court on Tuesday.
We’ll have updates for you on this as the story unfolds.

On the Secretary of State’s website, you can search WHICH campaigns various treasurers have served.
http://dbsearch.ss.ca.gov/TreasurerSearch.aspx
From January 1, 2009 to July 1, 2011, Kinde Durkee submitted 242 campaign finance reports for groups or committees with either the name “DEMOCRAT” or “DEMOCRATIC” in their formal titles, per the Secretray of State’s data base.
Durkee submitted exactly TWO (2) reports for a GOP group, the obscure, “National Organization of GOP Armenians” (which spent less than $1K the last year).
SUMMARIZING THOSE TOTALS FOR YOU
* 242 reports for Democrat groups
* 2 for a single Republican group.
That’s a 121-to-1 ratio for the Mathematically-minded.
There are dozens more Durkee reports filed for various Labor Union-related PACs and prominent Democrat office-holders like Gil Cedillo, Paul Krekorian, Jose Solorio, Ted Lieu, Jerome Horton, and…..

* Christine Kehoe for Assembly 2012 !
……………………………….AND…….
* Office Holder account, Senator Christine Kehoe!
Senator Kehoe, please call your answering service.

A possible reason for the leftie cpa looting her liberal buddies and non profits may be tied into Maddoff, Stanford and local shysters with their ponzi schemes based on mythical properties.
Some county DAs with the resources and trained man power are wrapping up a few of these cases.
We have at least two situations here, which left businesses broke, individuals losing most of their life savings and funds set up to maintain stuff like graveyard maintenance with no funds.
These Ponzi Scheme crimes were committed during the rapid escalation of most property values in this state and others. People invested their money, others’s money, and whatever money they could get their hands on before the Ponzi schemes blew up. Then, they borrowed from their banks, second mortgages, credit cards, parents, and siblings until they couldn’t borrow anymore.
Banks found themselves holding mortgages on 2 - 4 million dollar homes, whose value fell to maybe a half million with all types of seconds/thirds/home equity loans and credit cards. Some of those banks have got really tough on those, who lost money to Ponzi scams. Maybe this babe was on a high up on a list of defaulters and really had pressure put on her by banks and others down the credit line.
As BofA lays offs thousands, watch it and other banks roll over on Freddie/Fannie and anyone who owes them big time.
With the proper use of coupons, she probably owns the entire Food City corporation.
I hope all of it! The more hurt the Dims have from this the more the DNC will have to fork over that Obama won’t have.
