New court documents show yearly totals of Crundwell theft
DIXON – For every day she worked at City Hall in 2010, ex-Comptroller Rita Crundwell stole an average of $37,478.52.
Further, of the more than $55 million in city funds she deposited into her secret bank account over two decades, only $1.338 million actually went back to the city for expenses.
She spent the rest – nearly $54 million – building up her world renowned horse breeding business, traveling around the country for horse shows, renovating several homes, and buying expensive jewelry.
