Credit Union CEO Faces Criminal Charges | Jackson News

Former Jackson Area Federal Credit Union CEO Leigh Bridges faces looming criminal charges after regulators uncovered $95 million allegedly siphoned into her personal accounts over a decade. A motion to halt the civil case signals prosecutors are actively pursuing criminal action, with her husband Chad and former branch manager Tina Funez also implicated. Investigators found hundreds of suspicious transactions—including a $378K jewelry store wire and $325K to an investment firm—and over $51 million in fabricated entries. Assets have been frozen as Bridges’ legal team contends she was unaware of wrongdoing, while Chad claims he was merely a figurehead. An indictment is expected soon.
