Bloomington’s Coliseum Theft and Fraud Investigation reaches Minnesota –

Bloomington, IL. (ECWd) –

Curtis Webb, recently fired employee who worked for VenuWorks as Executive Director of the US Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, IL. is apparently being investigated in Minnesota for potential fraud and theft of funds form his former position at the Sanford Center in Bemidji, MN.

Diane Benjamin first reported on suspected fraud and theft of funds thru BLNNEWS.com. Her investigations led to her having to file suit in circuit court for access to public records being denied by the former coliseum managers. She has alleged the city of Bloomington failed its citizens when it refused to demand accurate reporting of income from the coliseum, leading to the city being undercompensated. Later, it was learned that Curtis Webb, the new director had allegedly been using funds improperly and he was charged with a felony, which has yet to be heard in court.
