Philadelphia treasurer charged with embezzlement, entering sham marriage

Philadelphia’s treasurer was fired Friday after federal authorities charged him with embezzlement and entering into a sham marriage to obtain US citizenship.

Although the allegations against Christian Dunbar did not involve his work with the city, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said that he had asked the city’s inspector general to review the treasurer’s office during Dunbar’s tenure beginning in 2016, the Associated Press reported.

“This review can help resolve any concerns about the office´s conduct and transactions during this period,” Kenney said.

Federal prosecutors said that Dunbar, 40, stole $15,000 from two of his clients while working at Wells Fargo as a financial adviser, before he began working in city government. In both instances, he was assisting customers who wanted to transfer funds and had them sign several documents, including a blank withdrawal slip.

He later allegedly used the blank slips to withdraw cash from both victims’ accounts and deposit those funds into his own bank account, prosecutors said.

Dunbar, who was born in Liberia, where his maternal grandfather William Tubman was president for three decades. He allegedly entered into a fake marriage with a former classmate at Temple University, prosecutors said.

If "diversity" is valued above all else, more frauds like this guy gain power. He should be convicted, imprisoned, and then deported.

This guy must be quite a genius to think no one would notice funds of that magnitude disappearing.

That's probably higher than the median IQ of Democrat voters in Philly.

If you’re ever in the area, just drive through North Philly and Kensington. Lovely people.

Close by are Chester PA, Camden NJ and Wilmington DE.
All wonderful neighborhoods with hard working, high IQ, morally outstanding people.

I've been one of those nasty US govt contractors for better than 40 years. I've seen the dumbing down of the federal workforce and the influx of 'newly' naturalized citizens into the upper levels of alot of federal agencies. I'm not surprised at the level of anti-trumpism in the federal workforce, they have been taken over by the 'gimme' culture that uses all the levers of rules/regs in government that has regulated merit to the bottom rung of qualifications.

Diversity = Frauds

But it makes so many feel so good about it.
For some honesty gives them the rash.

Sound like the parents of a recent ex-president?

“Dunbar, who was born in Liberia, where his maternal grandfather William Tubman was president for three decades.”

Odd...Liberia is close to Nigeria on the African continent. I’m surprised Dunbar didn’t claim to be a prince.

Nice crop of Dem voters they got there. That’s about the only care they get from their overseers - food & water, then harvest in November. With regular applications of bovine fertilizer.

Makes me ill that politicians can look at people that way, but that seems to be about the size of it.
