The Citrus County School Board (CCSB) is currently under investigation for a sophisticated fraud scheme that has resulted in over $846,000 being fraudulently transferred. The Citrus County Sheriff's Office is leading the inquiry, which was prompted by alerts from the school's sponsor regarding financial irregularities and potential academic fraud. Investigators have revealed that a significant portion of the funds, approximately $800,000, was nearly misappropriated by an external entity not based in Florida. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to identify the perpetrators behind this cyber fraud.
