Sounds like she was pretty blindsided by it, considering she said she's been cooperating. My guess is she'll have to testify against him when this goes to trial (assuming he doesn't plea out or start rolling on other shit he might know). Honestly think McCollum was just a piece of shit who took advantage of people's loyalty. I'd love to hear him explain why he thought this was acceptable and why he thought he could get away with it.

That’s wild. I am super curious who knew what when because both Bevins and Johnny O were very publicly feuding with the IG Madigan (even going so far as to call her a bully and attempting to limit her subpoena power) when the IG started digging into McCollum. Maybe they were just protecting their friend?

I'm sure when this goes to trial we'll find out more about who knew what and when. Looking at the timeline of things though I think the IG/Bevins feud started well before she had any clue about this. I'm actually more interested to see if Mccollum's attorney brings up her full throated defense of him to the IG during cross examination when she inevitably takes the stand. Also can't wait to see her responses. And it's painfully clear the states attorney had a forensic accountant go over everything, so McCollum is cooked.
