The FBI confirmed Wednesday that it is investigating the $1 billion Scott Credit Union in Edwardsville, Ill.
According to court documents, the FBI's office in Springfield, Ill. mailed a letter to the St. Clair County Circuit Clerk's office in Belleville requesting a copy of a civil lawsuit that was filed by David Butz and Eugene Schill. They accused the credit union of alleged consumer fraud and negligence involving millions of dollars.
"I can confirm there is an investigation," Brad Ware, a media spokesperson for the FBI's Springfield office, said. "Due to the fact that there is an investigation, the FBI does not comment on any matters because of an open investigation."
