AG seizes ACORN computers

The Times Picayune reports agents from the Louisiana Attorney General's office executed a search warrant and seized a hundred or so computers from ACORN's New Orleans offices. The AG's ongoing investigation into financial irregularities stems in part from suspicion that the acknowledged embezzlement scandal involving Dale Rathke may involve a lot more missing money than acknowledged by the organization. Prior subpoenas for information also indicate the AG is investigating non-payment of withholding taxes, obstruction of justice and ERISA violations.
