It was a chilly winter morning in Washington D.C. when Reno E. Stitely, the former chief of the voucher unit at the National Bank Service, awaited his transfer from the District Jail to a Federal penitentiary.

But as the government struggled to collect the hefty fine, the magnitude of Stitely’s deceit began to unravel.
