From abc26.com:
Louisiana’s attorney general said Tuesday he has stepped up an investigation into embezzlement at ACORN nearly a decade ago, but the prosecutor and community activist group clashed over how much money was taken.
Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell claimed the figure was $5 million, but ACORN said the sum hadn’t changed from slightly less than $1 million.
ACORN said its chief executive officer estimated it could cost up to $5 million to “get everything together” in the aftermath of the embezzlement, but the group’s leaders claim only $948,607 was stolen.
