VIDEO - ANC 8E discovers thousands of dollars in FRAUDULENT checks, transfers & expenses

😡WHEN ARE WE GOING TO FINALLY DEMAND SOMEONE GO TO JAIL FOR ALL OF THIS ANC THEFT?! $2,000+ in cashier's checks?! People transferring ANC money to their debit cards?! WTH?!

Thank you ANC 8C Commissioner Robbie Woodland for sharing this video of last night's ANC 8E meeting. It is so frustrating to see another ANC fall victim to blatant theft of ANC funds. While I am encouraged to see ANC 8E Christopher Hawthorne be proactive and transparent in getting to the bottom of this STEALING (because any way you slice it, this is theft) it is so frustrating to know this keeps happening in ANCs and no one does anything about it! It has become a license to steal! ANC 8C had the same thing happen earlier this year and nothing has happened, we don't even demand that the people who steal return the money! What kind of foolishness is that?! I can personally point to at least $100k in questionable expenses that came out of ANC 8C bank accounts when I was an ANC 8C resident. No one cares.

In case you were wondering, the Chair of ANC 8E is Kendall Simmons.

The community really needs to start demanding that swift action is taken and people need to be arrested, charged and go to jail. This happens so often it has become the norm, not the exception. We should all be ashamed and outraged.

Highlights from the video:

  • $2,000+ in UNAUTHORIZED Cashier's Checks from ANC 8E's bank account.

  • Unauthorized AHC (electronic withdrawals) from ANC 8E's bank account

  • 10 cell phones (not authorized by the commission) were purchased with money from ANC 8E's bank account.

  • Transfers from ANC 8E's bank account to someone's Capital One card.

When are we going to take a stand?!
