Out of curiosity, I wanted to see how unusual this is. According to https://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/ezaucr/asp/ucr_display.asp https://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/ezaucr/asp/ucr_display.asp about 150000 people were arrested for fraud and embezzlement in 2014 out of 328m Americans, or .0004% of the population, with 31830 employees that should be 12 a year if there's a even distribution of fraudsters in the country. Granted it's 2 am here and I'm really tired, so this might not make much sense.
- cft 6y agoA better stat would be the % of arrests of other cities' officials. The majority of population does not have access to the FBI scale embezzlement, even if they wanted to do it.
- thatguy0900 6y agoTrue, I cant find any stats like that though. Searching https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/public-corruption/news https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/public-corruption/news for San Francisco 2020 does seem to yeild substantially more results than any other city I tried, though.
