PITTSBURGH, Pa. – The Duquesne Heights Incline’s Board President gets charged for a grand theft auto of the financial kind. Christopher Furman, 53, has been hit with a federal indictment for wire fraud and money laundering. It’s alleged that while serving as President of the Society for the Preservation of the Duquesne Heights Incline, Furman pilfered nearly $1.4 million from its coffers over an 11-month period, shoving it into his own pocket through over 25 electronic transfers. The cash was then channeled into crypto—a digital cash cow he milked for himself. But this isn’t just any ordinary theft; Furman could face up to 20 years in the slammer if convicted of each wire fraud count and another 10 for money laundering. The heat’s on, Chris—the feds are after you.
