PHOENIX – Yesterday’s scheduled sentencing of William Liddle for his role in the AEA FCU MBL fraud has been delayed after Liddle was stabbed in his own back yard.
Authorities said Liddle had been in his back yard in Phoenix when he was hit in the head. When he came to, there was a knife in his chest. Liddle was taken to a hospital.
However, on Monday his wife, Rhonda Liddle, was sentenced to 12 months’ home incarceration for her role in laundering $1 million in cash and merchandise bribes arranged by her husband to approve some $60 million in MBL.
AEA, the former credit union for the Arizona Education Association, lost an estimated $30 million on Liddle’s MBL, forcing NCUA to take the one-time $410-million credit union under conservatorship in December 2010.
