Since there aint anythin left. He drained it. Stands to reason, TRMC owes the taxpayers the money back, several millions in gold. TRMC can sue Benny-HCCA to get it, perhaps. When ever there is public money up for grabs, there will be grabbers crowding around. We district taxpayers are filling the trough. Why is the board not listening to the taxpayers they represent? Instead they listen to the crybaby employees collecting paychecks who are still there pulling weeds and dusting who now want their benefits back. This is insane.

Follow the money. There's a money trail if you just follow what was deposited and what was withdrawn from all the banking statements. Tim Ward is doing this for political reasons. He is desperate for attention. After almost six months of tax payer dollars, there is still no concrete evidence? The incompetency of the investigation is for show. It's sad how everyone is suckered into this DA shenanigans. Seriously, you have a bunch of investigators and accountants on the case, and you can't figure out where the money went? There is a paper trail and the DA has access to all that information. This whole thing is a circus! Follow the money.

Potentially these funds were misused? This sounds like "bomb shell" status. Did TDH have an accountant at the time? How about CFO? These individuals would be just as liable as Bensleezbag. As we all know, its a very bad idea to rip off the IRS. I hope Bensleezy is ready to "switch teams" and marry the strongest guy in prison. Funds went from the IRS to somewhere?
