How did the Bridges allegedly embezzle so much money from the Jackson Area Federal Credit Union. Tis a question asked over and over in Jackson this week. Fortunately, JJ obtained exclusive video of how the alleged scheme came to be.
Note: Leigh and Chad Bridges have not responded to the credit union's lawsuit. Their attorney, John Collette, waived service of process so they have sixty days to respond.
Residents of their neighborhood said they had never seen so many Amazon boxes at one house as at the Bridges home.

How does one believe that they will get away with this ? Should they have moved the money to an offshore account and left for Honduras ?
“Accounting Theory.”
It's astonishing the lengths people like the Bridges will go to in order to appear wealthy. How pathetic. The day they have to report to prison will be a very good one.
How do the other members of the credit union leadership explain not noticing their executive suddenly living far beyond what they paid her?
Ha! This video is so on point. "Two sets of books, one for the government (CU) and one for us."
When will she be arrested?? This is why i don’t use credit unions
Either they don’t care or just stupid. Don’t use credit unions
We need a crypto dollar issued by the fed to skip credit unions and banks. Credit unions can’t be seen as a safe place anymore
KF take a look at the certificate of service. It looks like they have separate counsel which makes me wonder if they may be postering against each other.
Anyone (and I do mean anyone) who feels so low, that purses and other junk makes them feel good about themselves is just sad! I have certainly been guilty of the "I want" bandwagon at times, so I am not casting stones, its just sad to me to have that little self respect, and self worth.
Not only did this apparently happen in Jackson; but, it is possibly currently happening in Oxford. A certain steakhouse that is supposed to be being built in Oxford has its owner raising money through a VIP club called the Colonel Club. The goal is to raise $2 million. Now, why would a restaurant owner who has already announced his new restaurant is to open this fall be raising money this summer for a Colonel Club? Sounds like he got the cart before the horse. Unfortunately, he has done this twice before in Alabama and Tennessee and those restaurants never opened. Apparently, dishonest people don’t just work for local credit unions.
I have a sister, who suffers from a very serious problem, similar to what I’m getting from this situation, but much smaller scale. She literally gets off on spending money. The actual act of spending and buying. If there is a psychological expert out there, please explain this if possible.
No, you don’t. Unless you want the government to have power over the way you spend your money, and to be able to monitor and record every expenditure.
Again, who are these people?
"Step 2, we raise a million bucks. There's a lot of little old ladies in the world."
Mama needs a new purse on the low. My designer stickers keep peeling off. It’s time for a real one
When’s the liquidation sale ?

It’s a dopamine addiction.
Our brains release the hormone known as dopamine as a reward. You get it when you climb a mountain, run a 10k, get that promotion, nail that presentation, pass that exam, etc.
meta long ago discovered you get it from “likes” and your content going viral.
You also get an easy (but not cheap) dopamine release when you shop and also waiting for delivery and unboxing of online shopping.
Agreed, 3:20. But 1:44 is probably a Trollabot, instructed to insert that particular "we need" into any applicable online discussion it (or associated webcrawlers) can find. It's surprising, actually, that they only recently found this group of news bits.
Love the 1960's version of The Producers with Mel Brooks. Hate the remake in te early 2000's because will ferrell isn't funny.
The big guy resembles Leigh Bridges.

Yes, do you mean dopamine as when a 20 something young man is hugged by a sweet, lovely young lady that he has genuinely, obsessively admired, praised and flattered for months. Or when a business contract favors him and he earns enough to salt away most of it to once more consider a Schott leather jacket he has lusted for for twenty years and can finally pull the trigger for one that surpasses all his expectations when it dutifully arrives and smells like manly leather on steroids? That kind of dopamine rules but , for most of us, is diminished with frequency and minimized when its cost derives from stolen lucre.
@ 4:15 Yes... A dopamine addiction...
And --just reading those LARGE amounts of JUST the Credit card payments makes me... well... physically nauseous. I am just struck by the ENORMOUS scale that this fraud is. This has to be at the TOP of the list of Financial Frauds this state has seen. This is for them has to mean
1. GREED
2. ENTITLEMENT
3. THRILLING - *Maybe even a personality disorder.... However, most folks with mental health conditions normally do not commit fraud. I would guess this duo.. and their TINA may not be resting as well on those fine Italian silk sheets.
I will say this .....That is going to be on heck of an auction.
