An internal review by the board of directors of the community organization ACORN determined that the amount allegedly embezzled from the community organization was $5 million, well more than the previously reported amount of nearly $1 million, according to a new subpoena in an investigation by Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell.
The subpoena says, ``It is still unclear if some of the monies embezzled are from state, federal or private funds,'' according to The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune.
ACORN Chief Executive Officer Bertha Lewis says the new embezzlement allegation is ``completely false.''
