SUN: Voodoo sex spells, gambling binges, luxury gifts fuel $900K fraud probe

MARYLAND (WBFF) — Federal officials are investigating a former Maryland PTA president for allegedly embezzling over $900,000 to live a lavish coast-to-coast lifestyle that included luxury trips, gambling benders and Voodoo sex spells — including a curse to break up the marriage of her alleged lover.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland opened a criminal case against LaTonja Carrera, 51, who served as state PTA president from November 2020 to October 2022, according to D.C. attorney and former federal prosecutor Seth Waxman. The state organization oversaw about 800 local PTA chapters and 130,000 volunteer members. The investigation is looking at Carrera’s unauthorized spending of PTA funds from May 2020 through October 2022, Waxman said.

Waxman said federal investigators asked him last month to provide documents from a forensic audit he ordered as a court-appointed receiver of the Maryland PTA in 2022, when he took over to protect and preserve the organization’s assets. The Chicago accounting firm BDO USA conducted the audit. Waxman detailed the findings in a June 2023 lawsuit filed in Montgomery County Circuit Court on behalf of the state PTA.

The first name, coming from Maryland and the nature of the crime has democrat written all over it.

I Googled the name and came up with the picture of a person I’d never want to be its alleged lover, let alone even seeing it naked. The mere thoughts were nauseating.

People in deep blue states must really feel good about themselves when they vote for all of this.

Where would black folks be without government printed fiat-money and massive government debt spending?

I’m mainly interested how a PTA got $900,000 to steal.

Evidently, her office was in charge of multiple PTAs.

I saw a calculation of how much taxpayer largesse an unwed mother of two infants received in San Francisco, counting insurance, welfare, SNAP, Section 8 housing, et al.

It’s over $120,000 per year, tax free.

No wonder we’re going broke.

Why does an ORG like the PTA take 2 years to notice and correct this?

I would think any ORG this big has a staff of accountants doing their books quarterly for reporting?

If any male voluntarily touched this ugly thing (besides with a stick), then, yes, the spell works.

Q. Why did local PTAs need State-level supervision, with big budgets for DEI scoundrels to steal?

A. Because the purpose of the State organization was: 1) to co-opt the local groups and use them to promote Democrat Party agendas; and, 2) to divert money raised to enhance programs and facilities at local schools into Democrat pockets.

The fraud in government perpetrated by the criminals inside government is endless.

Absolutely correct answer and very astute!

I saw the same thing at a local United Way. We changed the governing documents of our (very well funded) local United Way to hold money in special trusts to prevent pilfering from the parent organization, which is just a front for the Democrats.

How exactly does a PTA have that much money in the first place, let alone that she embezzled it?

Seems there was a system of corruption in place and not just this one perpetrator's embezzlement.
