I seem to remember someone posting about one of their Division officers embezzling funds. I don't remember who it was. I was wondering what whoever it was did about it.
Here's my situation. I took over as Division treasurer in September. I tried until about December to get the former treasurer to turn over the info on the bank account, the Tax ID number, and other financial information. He kept promising but never delivered. I think he's travelling a lot with his job and isn't active in fencing anymore. I finally gave up and applied for a new tax ID number and opened a new bank account.
I got a letter from the USFA saying that they won't pay us our share of membership dues until they get back financial reports. Apparently, the last one was filed for the year ended in 1998 (!). I sent a letter to Robert Dumcum at USFA and he told me they have no provision to waive the financial reports so they won't pay anything. I've tried "shaming" the old treasurer by sending him copies of the correspondence but it hasn't had any effect.
I'm tempted to file financial reports showing a beginning bank balance (the USFA told me what the ending balance was on the last report), show that it was all diverted to the old treasurer, and then show zeros until the date that I took over.
OK, I realize that some of this post is for venting purpose, but I am interested in any ideas that anyone has.
