The Quilting Guild Scam: $61,400 in Checks Left in a Field

A frozen field hid a green bank deposit bag with a brass zipper and an account number, containing forty-three personal checks totaling $61,400 that had never been deposited - while the writers believed their Christmas savings were safe. Who was running the pool, why were checks left in a field, and how did nearly a decade of trust turn into four years of theft?

In this episode, we tell what happened inside a small quilting guild and how a man with an insurance license proposed a pooled savings plan, collected regular contributions, and controlled the account alone - until a phone call and a surveyor in the wrong field started to unravel the scheme. What questions did the handout, the single authorized signature, and the missing deposits leave unanswered?
