Sat, 12 Apr 2025
Description
The Rita Crundwell story is one of the largest municipal fraud cases in U.S. history. As the longtime comptroller of Dixon, Illinois, Crundwell embezzled over $53 million from the small town over two decades, using the funds to finance a lavish lifestyle that included luxury cars, jewelry, and one of the nation’s top quarter horse breeding operations. She kept the theft hidden by creating a fake bank account and manipulating city financial records, all while Dixon struggled with budget cuts and deficits.
