> Additionally, the recovery of approximately $40 million through the auctioning of Crundwell’s assets and lawsuit settlements Wow, how did she manage to incinerate $14M in value? Oh, it's worse than that: > The U.S. Marshals auctioned off Crundwell’s assets, which were really Dixon’s — including five properties, dozens of cowboy hats, $250,000 worth of jewelry, 400 horses and a large quantity of horse semen that fetched $98,500 — clawing back about $10 million for the city. The city got roughly a further $30 million in lawsuit settlements from the auditors and bank involved, neither of which had caught on to the theft. She incinerated $44M in value but the town got a huge windfall from its auditors because they didn't notice.
