AG Ferguson's office recovers another $9.3M in stolen unemployment money
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced on Monday that his office has recovered another $9.3 million stolen from the state’s Employment Security Department.
Ferguson said thieves deposited the stolen money into Bank of America accounts and a King County Superior Court judge ordered the bank to return the funds to Washington state.
During the pandemic, fraud rings stole billions of dollars from at least 11 states, including Washington.
The AG’s office said it used a new approach to recover $33.7 million stolen from the state’s Employment Security Department.
