I have family impacted by this story. Disabled individuals who benefit from Special Olympics through participation in organized sporting events like bowling and basketball will not be doing so this Fall or Winter, because of this fiscal mismanagement.

I say "mismanagement" because the money was there in 2016 and an audit of 2017 that should be revelatory is not yet complete. At best, somebody goofed in Accounting and put the money in another account. At worst, it got laundered out of the organization into a personal account by a former, or soon-to-be-former, insider who will now be socially radioactive forever.

The money was misappropriated for Black Lives Matter or some such.

I had no idea where Cottage Grove is, so I checked...Oregon...packed with liberal filth...find the loudest liberal in the area...that person is part of the theft.

So they found $14,000 in an account that was never set up?

$50k in 2012
$14k in 2018

That’s $15k a year, probably moved to perfectly legitimate expense accounts.

That’s what happens to money — it gets spent, and this kind of freakout is what makes good people stay away from charities.
