No, she didn't leave the County Recorder position because of undisclosed reasons. She left because she took the same position in Goodhue County and then bought the business. Let's get our facts straight before we start more rumors.
No, MADDOG is right; Tuttle left under some very shady conditions. Now that is years later it is easy for someone to say that she went to Goodhue County and all was kosher (and expect that will be enough to divert the public's attention), but there were some shady circumstances that were referred to as undisclosed in nature.
Hey Twiggs, there is also the matter of some questionable campaign expediture filings. Or didn't she tell you about them?

no big deal; martha got through it; she'll do some minimum security time with a bunch of other financial scammers up in duluth presumably; a few months; she'll get schooled playin hearts with sharp women from edina but hopefully she plugs her ears and chooses recovery; i bet she's relieved; she should consider going to treatment for gambling as an alternative or while she's doin time; admittedly, i haven't read the entire thread but what i heard is that she transferred 600,000 dollars of her clients' into her accounts essentially and spent 48,000 of it and perhaps lost it gambling at Diamond Joe's or even online, hell, who knows; presumably she transferred the 552,000 dollars back into client accounts (or has had officials do so) and thus only owes the 48,000; i guess if she has enough equity in her indian hills home, she could pay it back or at least some of it; i gotta add, that's kind of funny she was shopping at rummage sales for her grandkids, but totally cool
*i did just read the entire thread and apparently judge schwab froze the accounts which kind of sucks for clients maybe; i don't really understand the abstract business but Linda, if you're reading, as they say out east DONEWERRYABOWDIT; you're not a murderer and no one can take your concious contact with a higher power from you; you'll get through it and quit gambling!; did you hear what bernie told his buddies in prison what he'd like to say to his all of his "unknowing" clients: f$$$ off!

I have heard recently that her new husband is well to do and they have a beautiful house out in Indian Hills, I just cant believe that she would do this for a gambling debt, I just saw her the other day at a rummage sale looking for stuff for her grandkids. I just think there will be more to the story than what we have heard so far.
she'll do some minimum security time with a bunch of other financial scammers up in duluth presumably; a few months; she'll probably get schooled while playin spades but hopefully she plugs her ears and chooses recovery;
Of course you therefore assume: (1) she'll serve federal time in Duluth, and, (2) she'll get a sex change so she can serve with the rest of the men.
And it won't be a few months. Then again, I wonder with financial institutions, interstate commerce, why this wasn't a fed case?

believe it or not, i did actually hesitate to suggest duluth because i did not in fact know whether they house female financial scammers there too and did not check; as for the charge, good point, i assumed it wasn't but i have absolutely no clue how financial fraud charges are handled; it didn't sound like she actually misspent that much money; i mean 48,000 does not seem like that much, or enough to warrant federal charges; we all would be sick if we knew the thin line so many "legitimate" business men, most white and rich, tread daily; i'm not suggesting it happens in this town, but it might, but definitely in the metro and in cities across the country; are you kidding me?; this s$$$ goes on all the time; the corporation is a psychopath protected by the law on many measures

Rather than copying all information on the Statute, I shortened it and put what I think the charges are against her in bold.
Subd. 2.Acts constituting theft.
Whoever does any of the following commits theft and may be sentenced as provided in subdivision 3:
(1) intentionally and without claim of right takes, uses, transfers, conceals or retains possession of movable property of another without the other's consent and with intent to deprive the owner permanently of possession of the property; or
(2) with or without having a legal interest in movable property, intentionally and without consent, takes the property out of the possession of a pledgee or other person having a superior right of possession, with intent thereby to deprive the pledgee or other person permanently of the possession of the property; or
(3) obtains for the actor or another the possession, custody, or title to property of or performance of services by a third person by intentionally deceiving the third person with a false representation which is known to be false, made with intent to defraud, and which does defraud the person to whom it is made. "False representation" includes without limitation:
(i) the issuance of a check, draft, or order for the payment of money, except a forged check as defined in section 609.631, or the delivery of property knowing that the actor is not entitled to draw upon the drawee therefor or to order the payment or delivery thereof; or
I noticed that the offense date is actually January 1, 2010. It sure took a long time to file charges or is it that they found an offense with that date to file the charges against her now instead?
It seems logical to me that if someone had that amount of money stolen from them, they would have reported the crime immediately.

The investigation said bank records found that after transferring funds out of escrow accounts into Albert Lea Abstract’s business accounts, she then wrote checks to herself or made cash withdrawals through an ATM or Diamond Jo Casino.
Hope she was at least withholding the taxes on the money stolen from clients and paying it to the uncle this whole time.
