Move over N.J. - Delaware ranked No. 4 on corruption list thanks to top forgery, embezzlement rates

Special Thanks to the Newark Post for the Tip:

The Daily Beast website has given Delaware a No. four ranking when it comes to corruption.

Tennessee ranked No. 1 in the listing, followed by Virginia and Mississippi.  Delaware seemed to earn the rating, due to top rankings for embezzlement, fraud and counterfeiting. Pennsylvania came in 8th, and Maryland ranked 23rd. New Jersey, which is often viewed as a center for corruption, was rated 21st.

Cited was the case of Richard and Carlene Lloyd, who are accused of stealing more than $220,000 from New Castle drywall business.
