The Brown County Sheriff's Office investigated a large-scale fraud scheme targeting local credit unions, according to a criminal complaint. Between Oct. 17, 2024, and Nov. 19, 2024, several Fox Communities Credit Union members provided online banking information to scammers posing as representatives of the credit union's fraud team, the complaint said. According to the complaint, Fox Communities Credit Union lost a total of $192,195.80 after reimbursing victims. Community First Credit Union lost $23,144.45 to the same scam, the complaint said. After gaining access to a member's account, the scammer would transfer funds to one of 27 suspects identified in the investigation, the complaint said. Once the funds were deposited, the suspects quickly withdrew or moved the money through ATMs, additional transfers or purchases. Investigators described the scheme as "a coordinated and systematic attack on numerous financial institutions" by "the same criminal enterprise." A large portion of the stolen money was turned over to "leadership within the criminal enterprise," the complaint said. According to several criminal complaints: Mackontee served as a principal local organizer of a criminal enterprise responsible for defrauding credit unions. Mackontee recruited "money mules" and co-conspirators through Facebook. He targeted individuals looking to make quick money and instructed them to open accounts at FCCU, CFCU and Capital Credit Union "for the sole purpose of facilitating fraudulent financial transactions." Mackontee kept a large portion of the stolen money, typically paying the money mules "a small percentage." In a July 10 interview with investigators, Mackontee initially denied any involvement in the scheme but eventually demonstrated knowledge of it. He suggested he was recruited by another man who acted as an intermediary between a Chicago-based organizer and local organizers. On Oct. 21, 2024, Walton opened a new checking account through FCCU. The next day, a man fell victim to a phone scam in which he believed he was speaking to FCCU, resulting in a suspicious login to his online banking account. The victim had $4,750 transferred from his account to Walton's account and on Oct. 23, Walton withdrew a total of $4,747.61. In an interview with investigators, Walton denied knowing the victim or how the money was put into his account. On Oct. 23, 2024, King opened a new checking account through FCCU. The next day, $3,500.10 was transferred from a scam victim's account to King's and King withdrew $3,504.35. King told investigators he was recruited by Mackontee through Facebook. Investigators believe King recruited multiple other people to the fraud scheme, including Steele. On Oct. 24, 2024, Steele opened a new checking account through FCCU. The same day, $3,520 was transferred from a victim's account to Steele's. On Oct. 25, another $3,501 was transferred from the victim to Steele's account and Steele withdrew $6,039.95. Steele told investigators that he didn't know where the money in his account came from, but "they said that it was a quick way" to make money. On Nov. 5, 2024, Porter opened a checking account through FCCU. Over the next two days, $7,100 was transferred from a victim's account to Porter's. Porter withdrew $7,101.11 from the account over multiple days. He also accompanied multiple suspected money mules to open new FCCU accounts. Investigators believe he recruited other people to the scheme. On Nov. 18, 2024, Swille opened a checking account through FCCU. By the next day, two $3,500 transfers were made from the Hmong New Life Church's account to Swille's. Between Nov. 18 and 19, Swille withdrew $6,775.73. Swille told detectives Porter asked her to open the account and claimed she was pressured into doing it. On Nov. 16, 2024, Crawford opened a checking account through FCCU. On Nov. 18, $3,500 was transferred from the Hmong New Life Church's account to Crawford's. Crawford attempted to withdraw $3,500 but the account was frozen. The money was able to be returned to the church and did not result in a loss for FCCU. Rudolph had been an FCCU member since 2023. Between Nov. 20 and 21, 2024, $7,000 was transferred from a victim's account to Rudolph's. On Nov. 21, Rudolph withdrew $6,690. On Nov. 29, 2024, Rudolph opened accounts through CFCU. On Dec. 8, 2024, $1,410.35 was transferred from a victim's account to Rudolph's and Rudolph withdrew $1,375. According to court records: Mackontee is in custody at Brown County Jail on a $5,000 bail and will return to court July 25 for a status conference. King is in custody at Fox Lake Correctional Institution and returns to court Sept. 10 for a status conference. Porter is in custody at Dodge Correctional Institution and returns to court July 18 for a status conference. Walton is in custody at Waupun Correctional Institution and returns to court July 17 for a status conference. Steele is in custody at Brown County Jail and returns to court Sept. 17 for a status conference. Swille is scheduled to make her initial appearance in court July 24. Crawford is scheduled to make his initial appearance in court July 24. Rudolph pleaded no contest May 23 to one count of money laundering and one count of fraud. He is in custody at Dodge Correctional Institution serving a two-year sentence. Vivian Barrett is the public safety reporter for the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Mayor Adams again denied matching funds as Campaign Finance Board shifts tactics
New York City's Campaign Finance Board on Tuesday again denied Mayor Adams public matching funds for his reelection effort — but the panel switched up the reason for depriving him of the critical cash after losing a key judicial ruling. Since December 2024, the board has withheld more than $3 million in matching funds for Adams' campaign, in large part due to his federal indictment, which accused him of taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions from Turkish government operatives in exchange for political favors. The indictment was dismissed in April at the behest of President Trump's Department of Justice in a highly controversial deal that many believe has left Adams compromised. Despite the dismissal, the CFB has since April at several board meetings continued to cite the corruption case as grounds for denying Adams matching funds, arguing it provides 'reason to believe' he broke city campaign finance laws. However, last week, a Brooklyn Federal Court judge ruled in response to a lawsuit from Adams' campaign that the board couldn't withhold matching funds from Adams due to the indictment, given that it has been dropped. The judge did rule, though, that the board could deny Adams matching funds because of his campaign's long-running failure to respond to its requests for various documentation, including records related to donors mentioned in his indictment. In a meeting Tuesday morning, Frederick Schaffer, CFB's chairman, acknowledged the judge 'called into question' its reasoning on the corruption case. Still, he said the board is continuing to deny Adams matching funds because of the outstanding document requests, delivering a blow to the mayor as he faces a difficult path to reelection, running as an independent in November's general election. 'Because the documents and information requested from the Adams campaign are still outstanding and have been outstanding since last November, the board determines today that Mayor Adams' campaign has failed to demonstrate to eligibility for public funds payments at this time,' Schaffer said. Schaffer also said the board's independent investigation into Adams and his campaign remains 'ongoing.' As part of that probe, the board recently requested a slew of records related to individuals and fundraising events referenced in his indictment. Frank Carone, Adams' reelection campaign chairman, said he's hopeful the mayor will get matching funds at the board's next meeting. He also thanked the Brooklyn Federal Court judge for ruling that the 'reason to believe' standard CFB previously cited in denying Adams funds was 'arbitrary and unconstitutional.' 'Without that arbitrary standard, all that we must do is comply with what remains from CFB's document request … Therefore, we are confident now that Mayor Adams will receive matching funds,' Carone said in a statement. Also at Tuesday's meeting, the board approved about $1 million in new matching funds for Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor who's leading in the polls. It also awarded about $135,000 in new matching funds for Jim Walden, a lawyer mounting a longshot independent bid for mayor. Cuomo, who's also running as an independent in November's mayoral race, didn't apply for Tuesday's matching funds payout, according to his spokesman Rich Azzopardi. In light of his Monday announcement that he will stay in the November race, the ex-governor plans to apply for funds at next month's board meeting, Azzopardi added. Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa didn't apply for Tuesday's payout, either, but his spokesman Daniel Kurzyna said he plans to do so at the August meeting. The CFB's board meetings are typically dry, pro forma affairs. But before Schaffer started reading his statement about denying Adams funds, the meeting was disrupted by a small group of protesters angry about the CFB's flubbed rollout of its 2025 primary elections voter guide, which included a number of errors, resulting in the board having to spend millions of dollars to correct the pamphlet and mail out new ones to city residents. '$7 million down the drain,' one of the protests shouted before being escorted out of the room.
