"What we will find out as the case unfolds is just what went on, how it happened and why..." said Assemblyman Jim Patterson . The indictment names former Bank of America contractor Madison Clark of Little Rock, a customer service agent serving EDD card holders.It says Clark used her position and"accessed the Bank of America systems without authorization to re-issue debit cards, remove fraud blocks and add credits to unemployment accounts."
