Apparently, the fact that the two members asked the board for documents pertaining to the founder’s brother embezzling close to $1 million from the group made the powers that be who helped cover up the crime for eight years upset. Does ACORN’s code of conduct forbid board members from even asking questions about the Dale Rathke embezzlement? I thought that was called due diligence.
