Detroit’s inspector general is declining to further investigate $685,000 stolen from the Detroit Public Library. The money was stolen through fraudulent wire transfers in 2020 and 2021, according to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO).
A former library official publicly shared information on this loss on Jan. 10 at the first City Council meeting of the year. This was the first public acknowledgment of this matter, though library and city officials have known about it since 2021.
About $277,000 was recovered by the bank, but an estimated $407,000 is still missing after two years.
After the office received multiple media and other inquiries, the Office of Inspector General opened a claim on Jan. 24 to decide whether to investigate the matter.
The office is not pursuing an investigation because, according to Deputy Inspector General Kamau Marable, it is an “internal dispute” between the OCFO and library officials.
Furthermore, Marable said, because local law enforcement officials have investigated the matter, the Office of Inspector General does not have further actions to take for this case.
Local law enforcement has not shared additional information with the public about their investigation, and it is still unclear who stole the money from the library. According to the OCFO, law enforcement identified an individual they believe to be involved, but did not share those details with the office.
The Detroit Police Department declined to comment. Outlier Media sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request last month for details on the investigation. The only response from the police department was a letter extending the time they can legally respond to the request — by Feb. 13.
Information on the case was also forwarded to the FBI and the Secret Service, according to Corporation Counsel Conrad Mallett’s Feb. 3 letter to City Council. Neither agency comments on whether they are conducting investigations.
Mallett’s letter was sent in response to an inquiry by Councilmember Angela Whitfield Calloway seeking answers on the missing DPL money. Calloway asked Mallett’s office to make a recommendation on whether the city should reimburse the library for the loss in the next year.
“The city is not responsible for authorizing the wire transfers in question,” Mallett said in the letter. “To the extent that the city was involved in the transactions, the city was engaged in the discharge of a governmental function. Furthermore, the city cannot assure or protect against the criminal actions of third parties.”
Detroit Public Library Commission Secretary Franklin Jackson told Outlier that the commission may have to take this matter to the state attorney general’s office for further investigation since city officials aren’t finding answers.
“$400,000 missing is not a dispute,” Jackson said. “That’s still outstanding. It’s not disputed. It’s not a question of it’s missing and somebody’s misplaced it — it’s been stolen.”

as soon as you said "soft dom" my body tingled....... now I'm bout to deep dive into connor........ sorry for the mini drabble, my mind just went haywire
YES I THINK CONNOR IS A SOFT FUCKING DOM, but I also think he's a pleasure dom, he's just really gentle and sweet yk :') with every and anything. but he's really adamant when you two have sex.
he'd be all sweet, just so sweet. kissing on your neck, cupping your tits in his hand while he's fucking you. just so slow and gentle. you have tears splashing on your cheeks cause you want him to be rougher with you, but he thinks he's gonna hurt you. nine times out ten he'll just eat you out to make up for it :( he doesn't think he can do it right, he thinks he'll dig too deep, or fill you up too much cause your moans of pleasure make him spill buckets.
"you sure, baby? i-i don't want to hurt you." you'd wrap your legs around his torso just so he'd be trapped. so you could feel him, all of him. nice and deep, it makes your body twitch. and it makes him flustered, his whole face and the tip of his nose grow red, and you just giggle cause you love seeing him like this. "you won't hurt me, promise." his dick's getting squeezed so tightly, so he knows you must like it. he takes note. they like it, they squeeze me tighter when I'm deeper.
his LED turns red. he's going against what he does, like every time he's doing more damning things with you. he doesn't want to hurt you. it's against his character. but when you moan like that. when you grind your hips like that. nibble on your lip, play with your tits. "just like that." you moan as he thrust. "fuck me... nghh!- just like that.
you thought you'd have to press him for it. but after begging him so much just to do with you as he pleases he's finally getting it. but he always makes sure your feeling good. you look at him with such glossy eyes. they sparkle, even while they fall shut. you can feel him just moving in you.
even while he's pounding in you it feels like he's taking care of you. your fingers are intertwined with his own, and with the other, he's playing with your clit. rubbing the perky bud as you twitch all around him. "fucking you like this," he takes a deep breath and kisses your lips before he continues, "makes you wanna cum already?"
this android knows when you're gonna cum before you do. he can feel how wet you get around his cock. how you start to grow really wet and warm in the back. that spongy spot that he reaches with ease twitches against the tip of his dick. "mhmm, knew y' could." you slur like a drunk. when he slams his hips little spurts of liquid rush out of your pussy.
"I'll keep doing it like this okay? just make sure you cum a lot for me. can you do that for me, baby, if I do it like this?
and all of a sudden i'm horny, wow👩🏽🦯 HAVE I NO SHAME!?
sin sin sin sin sin Sin SIn SIN SIN SINNNNNN IIIII JUST I I JUST I I
I LITERALLY FELT A GUSH OF SOMETHING COME POURING OUT ME- LIKE YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO KEEP PAUSING AND LOOK AWAY FROM MY SCREEN ?????? TOO MANY 🧎🏽♀️my pussy is weeping and crying for this android to get inside of me. i want him NOW.
FIRST OF ALL THE FACT THAT YOU CAME UP WITH THIS IS IN LIKE 10 MINUTES, YOUR BRAIN IS SO POWERFUL LIKE HOOWWW ????? SECOND OF ALL, the red led lights ?? good fuckin god, i felt a wave of heat come from my body and im 1000% sure you put me in heat. and the whole time i’ve just been thinking abt the audio of him…. just imagine how sweet he sounds with that, “can you do that for me baby ? if i do it like this ?” LOORRRDDDD I WANNA FUCK THE NUTS N BOLTS OUT THIS ROBOT SO BAD MAN 💢⭕️💢⭕️
#gaming%!🎮#library.📚#detroit become human.📁/DBH#dbh connor#connor smut#soft dom n pleasure dom connor agenda#i almost didn’t wanna answer this and wanted to keep this to myself in my inbox#this was so good sin you literally made my entire night with service dom connor#thank you for blessing me i will never stop thinking about this for the rest of the day#i hope you know you ain’t going NOWHERE and every thing abt connor i find will be in your inbox#IM LITERALLY THROBBING AND GUSHING RNNNN SINNNN

It’s spring, and I look exceptionally cute in all my springy dresses and for WHAT?
#I go to the office and I go home#If I try to go anywhere my parents have aneurysms…at this point I kind of want to wander Detroit at night just to make them shut up about i#because surely after THAT visiting national parks would be easy to do without them throwing hissy fits…right#They don’t stop me#They just DON’T shut up about how incredibly dangerous visiting the library in an ever so slightly larger city 30 miles away is#Or how careful I need to be if I want to walk downtown to buy myself a smoothie#And it’s not like I’m actually being reckless#I am a careful person and I am always armed#But I do get incredibly fed up with their constant nagging#They keep pestering me to get married already and stand in the way of my doing anything that might facilitate my meeting someone#I am always in a state of “all dressed up and no place to go” and it’s very frustrating this year specially

Reading historical documents and realizing that humans have displayed the same sentiments over and over again since time immemorial is so annoying tbh. Why can’t you just let me wallow in my “I’m the only person who has ever felt this way” self pity for christs sake
#this is about a Library Journal article from 1921 btw. Of all things#It was written by a Staff Secretary at a Detroit library who is arguing that going to a job you consider a drudgery and not getting#paid very much and then going home to a single room every night is bad for you and bad for your ability to ‘fulfill your daily tasks’#Nice to know we’re still treading the exact same ground 100 years later. I mean it’s not giving me a fucking ulcer at all
