S1 E9 The Price of Power Kathy Jackson’s Journey from Hero to Fraudster

Kathy Jackson was once the brave whistle-blower who took down corrupt union officials—but her story took a shocking turn. Instead of cleaning up the system, she embezzled over $100,000 in union funds, using fake receipts, luxury shopping sprees, and lavish vacations to fuel her deception.

In this episode of Only Tax Crimes in the Building, we examine how power and opportunity create the perfect conditions for fraud. We break down the fraud triangle, uncover how leaders justify unethical decisions, and discuss what business owners can learn from this high-profile case.

From hero to fraudster, this is the rise and fall of Kathy Jackson. Tune in now.
