Interestingly, authorities didn't know the money was missing.

A Livingston County man known for generous acts of charity walked into the Oakland County Sheriff's Office and admitted embezzling $20 million from the Clarkston Brandon Community Credit Union, where he was an executive, Mike Martindale of The Detroit News writes:

The man’s story stunned investigators, who said it wasn’t known that any money was missing.

“A man walked into the sheriff’s office Wednesday morning on his own saying he wanted to give himself up because he was responsible for millions of dollars in embezzlement over a 12-year period from the credit union where he worked,” Undersheriff Michael McCabe confirmed Thursday. “We weren’t even aware of this until he came forward.”

The suspect — who is married and has young children — was arrested Wednesday afternoon.
