Any questions, thus far?" There were some murmurs, no questions. The accumulated years of military service of this group of veterans would have totaled into the hundreds.
An expert accountant employed by the housecleaners estimated that for three years, 1868-71, the frauds totaled between $45,000,000 and $50,000,000.
