Jewish Federation of Fort Worth and Tarrant County Reports $1 million Stolen by former Controller

According to federal court filings made public this week, nearly $1 million was stolen from The Jewish Federation of Fort Worth and Tarrant County by its longtime controller as part of a “fraudulent scheme.”

“It involved forged checks and banks, so it was referred to the FBI and ultimately the U.S. Attorney,” said Roger Nober, a member of the Federation’s board.

A plea deal is reportedly in the works.
