The following answer is a continuous theme in Ms. Clifton’s testimony. Pg 439 Beard “Was there anything that raised your suspicion or that seemed odd that would have you created a spreadsheet?” Clifton “I believe that I also saw transactions for different products that did not appear to further the charitable mission of the organization.” Beard “Can you give us an example of what that would mean?” Clifton “There was transactions regarding a PlayStation, I believe speedway, and Visalus.” Beard “Throughout your investigation was there ever an explanation that was given for those withdrawals?” Clifton “I believe the explanation was it was for fundraising purposes for the organization.” Pg. 445 Beard “You said Visalus, PSN, and iTunes. Were you able to determine why money was going to those three different categories?” Clifton “I’m sorry?” Beard “Were you able to determine why money was going to those three different categories?” Clifton “No ma’am.”

Jason does not doubt that Ms. Clifton was being proper. As she stated earlier she did not know how it further the mission. Remember, she is coming in to verify the spending on charitable purposes, not creating theft that does not exist.

Now some corrupt stuff. Pg. 453 Beard “Okay. We will go through some of these rows, okay?” Clifton “Okay.” Beard “So the first row here we are going to start at row four. Can you explain what row four is?” Clifton “Yes. So $400 was withdrawn by Raquel Serda from a Key Bank ending in 1847 on 4/16 of 2012.” Beard “Okay, was that able to be verified?” Clifton “Pardon me?” Beard “Was that able to be verified?” Clifton “No, it was not.” Beard “Moving to row five.” Clifton “$2,000 was withdrawn on May 15, 2012 from KeyBank ending in 1847.” Beard “Were you able to determine who withdrew that money?” Clifton “No ma’am.”

For the record, Raquel Serda was treasurer and Jason was not on the board. Also for the record, Raquel was a bank teller at KeyBank.

This continues for rows six, seven, and eight for over $3,000.

Beard “And to your knowledge was Ms. Raquel Serda on the board or was she part of the investigations at all.” Clifton “No ma’am.” Beard “So nobody questioned Raquel in regards to these transactions?” Clifton “Not to my knowledge. No ma’am.” Money being taken but she is ordered to concentrate on Jason.

More interesting moments. Clifton “$500 was withdrawn by HJC (Jason) on October 4, 2012, from KeyBank ending in 2233. We did not ask HJC about this transaction therefore we were unable to verify it.” Clifton “$7,000 was withdrawn by HJC on November 8, 2012 from KeyBank ending 2266, missing detail. Did not ask Mr. Craig about this transaction. So therefore unable to verify.” Clifton “Row 23, $5,000 was withdrawn by HJC on December 19, 2012 from KeyBank ending in 2266. We did not ask Mr. Craig about this transaction, so therefore we were unable to verify it.“ Clifton “$25,000 was withdrawn by HJC on December 19, 2012 from KeyBank ending in 2266. We did not ask Mr. Craig about this transaction. Therefore, we were unable to verify.”

Over $50,000 they did not ask about and so did not verify. $50,000 they made no attempt to verify that they charged him with stealing.

Remember this one for later. Clifton “$4,000 was withdrawn by HJC on August 9, 2013 from PNC ending in 9578. Withdrawal for festival change for purchases. We were unable to verify that.” This is one of 11 they specified Jason stole. Kinder changes it.
