“Thanks to the joint efforts of the offices of the Erie County Clerk, Comptroller, District Attorney, Bank of America, M&T Bank and the United States Secret Service, the stolen money from the intercepted check made payable to the State of New York Mortgage Agency's Insurance Fund (SONYMA), in the amount of $326,456.16, has been recovered in full.
I want to thank all agencies and law enforcement for their efforts and the public for their patience and trust in this investigation. The Clerk’s Office has already instituted new security measures, including electronic transfers, in our continued focus to safeguard taxpayer dollars.”
-Erie County Clerk Michael P. Kearns
