Bridges Under Fire as Criminal Probe Looms | Jackson News

Federal prosecutors are reportedly eyeing former credit union CEO Leigh Bridges with potential criminal charges looming, as the NCUA alleges she misappropriated $51 million — though no convictions have been made. The agency seeks to seize their real estate under court trusteeship, while the Bridges push back, arguing existing orders already restrict property transfers. Leigh is requesting a civil case pause, citing Fifth Amendment concerns as DOJ investigates — something the NCUA knew about since July. Chad seeks unfreezing of his retirement and deferred comp accounts, claiming they’re his own funds, and wants statements sealed for privacy. Third defendant Tina Funez denies wrongdoing, admitting only personal financial ties but insisting she didn’t knowingly participate in any misconduct. No rulings have been issued yet on these urgent motions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
