UPDATE: Final Rita Crundwell Auction
The final online auction of the remaining lots of clothing and other miscellaneous personal property formerly belonging to Rita Crundwell are available for preview at www.txauction.com. “The opening bids have all been significantly reduced,” says Jason R. Wojdylo, Chief Inspector of the Asset Forfeiture Division, U.S. Marshals Service. “There are quite a few bargains available when comparing the opening bids to the retail price she paid.”
DIXON – It may be just a drop in the horse bucket, but the third auction of Rita Crundwell’s belongings has pushed the total of money recovered from Dixon’s former comptroller past the six-figure mark.
The auctions of Crundwell’s belongings have netted the government $124,959 so far, and there’s more to come….
Most of that money came from the second of two online auctions of Crundwell’s assets. Bidding closed on that auction around 4:40 p.m. Tuesday and racked up $71,959. With 3,645 total bids placed by 303 different bidders, it outdrew the previous online auction by more than a thousand bids.
Jason Wojdylo, chief inspector for the U.S. Marshals Service, said “What we generated in these most recent auctions pales in comparison to what Rita Crundwell stole,” Wojdylo said, but “any money we can return to the city of Dixon is always a good thing.”
