The $50 million that a former D.C. tax office manager ripped off from the District could have modernized 22 public schools, helped 1,276 first-time homebuyers or made the Anacostia swimmable by 2032, prosecutors said in sentencing documents Tuesday.

Harriette Walters, the mastermind behind the largest financial corruption scandal in the District’s history, was scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday. Walters is the last of 13 co-conspirators to be sentenced.
