Was Comer set up by the family?
Where's the FBI? IRS? Alb Cnty tax assessor? VA tax authorities?
Comer's lawyer said he was channeling funds to the Developer. Really? Nobody over there noticed?
Took more than originally thought . . . $738,000. Big number, wonder if Glenmore Associates business partners were investigated to rule out collusion. Seems too easy that the theft was contained to the HOA and the work of one man.
How could the family not have known what was happening? How convenient Comer disappeared for a month.
Did they ever saw where he was hiding during that time? He hardly looks like the outdoors type. Was he staying with someone out in Wintergreen? Also, did he answer to anyone in his role as HOA President? If so, how could they not have known the money was missing. Same with the channeling of funds to the developer. Did anyone notice?
The whole situation needs an in-depth look. Probably more there than meets the eye.
