Bank Returns $500K in Stolen WA Unemployment Funds
(Olympia, WA) -- Washington state is recovering nearly 500-thousand dollars in stolen unemployment benefits. Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson's office says the stolen funds were found in bank accounts allegedly used by suspects involved in last year's 650-million-dollar unemployment fraud. The accounts were with New Jersey-based TD Bank, which has agreed to return the money to Washington state.
