In the story above, we hear from a Chattanooga area Homeowners’ Association who is investigating up to $22,000 of funds that went missing from the HOA’s bank account. It turns out that this money was withdrawn by the Board President over a period of a few years and wasn’t discovered until another Board member noticed a suspicious ATM withdrawal on the bank statement.
