Ex-Rep’s bank boxes found stuffed with cash, prosecutors say

BOSTON – John George Jr., a former state representative from Dartmouth convicted earlier this year on embezzlement-related charges, concealed more than $1 million in wads of cash in safe deposit boxes after telling a federal judge he had less than $200,000 in available assets, according to U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz in Boston. Federal marshals uncovered the stash and seized the funds last week, according to a statement Ortiz released Wednesday.
