Film screening at university focuses on fraud

"All the Queen’s Horses" on Oct. 22

A screening of the documentary “All The Queen’s Horses” will begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Bluffton University’s Yoder Recital Hall.

The documentary focuses on the largest case of municipal fraud in American history and poses the question, “How could one woman steal $53 million without anyone noticing?”

The crime, which fed a quarter horse breeding empire, forced years of staff cuts, budget slashing in the police department and neglect of public infrastructure in Dixon, Ill.

Following the film screening, a panel of area bankers, public accountants and elected officials will discuss the question, “Who is responsible for finding fraud?”

This event qualifies for Continuing Professional Education hours.
