Other People's Money.  Monopoly money.  Its not real.  So  nobody cares of it is missing.  Right now about $219 million is known to be unaccounted for from the Los Angeles Homless Services Agency.  It is run by VaLecia Adams Kellum, a close friend of Mayor Bass, the Communist mayor of L.A.  Bass appointed her friend to the gig.  It pays over $500,000 per year.  A board of ten, also appointed, theoretically oversees the agency and keeps and eye on funds, a lot of which come from HUD (which is why the feds are looking at it).  The feds are trying to run down as much as $500 million which may be unaccounted for. 

Except for a federal judge it seems that nobody cares.  These clowns are pouring money down the toilet and losing track of tons and tons of it, and nobody cares, because it is OPM.  The problem with finding the money is that nobody has been keeping records of how much money is going where.  Nobody knows.  Nobody cares.  Except for that angry federal judge.  His name is David O. Carter and he is mightily pissed off.  Maybe, just maybe, a federal judge has enough juice to get the job done, or at least nail some hides to the wall when deserved.  

Just don't hold your breath on it being done.  After all, it is only OPM.
