How far would you go to live the life of your dreams?

Rita Crundwell was Dixon, Illinois' trusted treasurer—a woman with a love for horses, luxury, and power. But behind her polished image lurked the largest municipal embezzler in U.S. history. Over two decades, Rita funneled $53 million from the struggling city into her own extravagant lifestyle, buying designer goods, lavish homes, and over 300 horses.

While Dixon cut essential services, Rita thrived, expertly covering her tracks and showing no remorse. But when a single mistake exposes her secret, an unsuspecting colleague unravels the shocking truth.

This is the story of greed, deception, and betrayal on an unimaginable scale—leading to a fall as grand as her ill-gotten fortune.
