Kinde Durkee pleads guilty to $7 million embezzlement scheme
SacBee: Capitol Alert ^ | 3/30/12 | Torey Van Oot

Posted on 03/30/2012 2:32:12 PM PDT by SmithL

Democratic campaign treasurer Kinde Durkee pleaded guilty this morning to defrauding her clients of at least $7 million, bringing to a close a case that one official has called the "most extensive campaign treasurer fraud in the history of California."

Durkee entered guilty pleas to five counts of mail fraud at the Robert T. Matsui United States Courthouse in Sacramento this morning before U.S. District Judge Kimberly J Mueller. Federal prosecutors say the veteran campaign treasurer misappropriated money from the accounts of at least 50 clients, including Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Durkee, 59, remains free pending sentencing on June 20. She likely faces 11 to 14 years in prison.

Should’ve used some of that money on beauty tips and plastic surgery although I’m not sure 7 million would have done the trick.

I don’t know how Feinstein has lasted so long. She is so dumb. Oh, I forgot. Her husband trades with China. How convenient for your wife tp be in the government.
