If ACORN is so legit, why did its former founder embezzle $175K of tax payer money?
Former ACORN bigwig Dale Rathke racked up a $157,000 American Express bill that he couldn’t repay around the time he was caught embezzling from the group founded by his brother Wade, The Post has learned.
Rathke was a big spender with multiple credit cards who rang up purchases at luxury shops, traveled by limo and frequented five-star hotels and restaurants, court papers show.
American Express filed a claim against Rathke in 2003 in Louisiana civil district court.
Among the court papers is a partial credit history that indicates Rathke had several different cards from different companies. He used them to shop at places like Gucci and Neiman Marcus, where he spent $1,003 and $1,742 respectively on July 6, 2000.

You didn’t expect him to shop at Walmart did you? They are a crooked organization founded by crooks who learned well from Al Capone, buy politicians and you can do what you please.
