No charges have been filed and Donaldson says an FBI forensic accounting team in San Antonio is helping with the investigation that could take up to a year.

Donaldson says while procedure called for two signatures on any checks, board members and officers changed every year.

Otherwise, only a former business manager had online access to the account. He says some debit card cash withdrawals were made at an Oklahoma casino.
