Board president addresses resignation calls amid Hearthstone museum embezzlement scandal

Описание: Hearthstone Historic House Museum board president Antoinette Powell is addressing calls for her resignation after a six-year embezzlement scandal by its treasurer was uncovered last year. Former treasurer Steve Jahnke embezzled about $70,000 in museum funds for his personal use from 2019 to 2025, according to a criminal complaint. Jahnke admitted he "embezzled funds to pay for his own expenses," the complaint states. At the time, Jahnke, 67, was the only person with access to certain museum accounts and credit cards. He has since resigned and faces up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine, classified as a Class G felony. A group of museum supporters who chose to remain anonymous called for the resignation of the entire board and executive director in a statement late last month.
