STATE MISMANAGEMENT COSTING TAXPAYERS MONEY …

Hi,

I’m passionate about protecting South Carolina’s money.  Actually, it’s your money and the State should manage it with care.

You wouldn’t overpay for a service or accept poor investment returns and neither should the State. Unfortunately, the penalty for the State’s mismanagement of money is that you must pay higher taxes and employee contributions.

I was featured in the financial section of Sunday’s New York Times concerning the best ways to manage and protect your money.  Please take a few minutes and give the article a read – it is important to me that you see my efforts on your behalf.  Click here to read the article.

As the custodian of the State’s funds, making sure your money is protected and properly managed is my first priority. It’s what you elected me to do…and I am on it!

Be well,

loftis sig

Curtis M. Loftis, Jr.
State Treasurer

Retirees wanting their money safe better keep Curtis’s hands off it. He’s liable to take part of it and spend it on TV ads like he does with the 529 program.

That is an important article written by one of the most widely ready finance journalist in the world. You can joke if you want but believe me, the people in the investment world have read every word of it. Loftis has been at the leading edge of the national debate about fees and process and it matters to every taxpayer and government employee.

PS…send us copy of one of your articles. I would like to see it.

Kyle, LOL Loftis on the leading edge of the national debate about fees !! He does not have the qualifications to discuss the fees and process in this world of finance.. He has a 2 years degree in bug control. He knows a lot about roaches in SC. He will be exposed for the imbecile that he is. He will be exposed and put in jail.

Changing the culture in a state agency is difficult. Many of these people had more than 30 years and retired/ Some moved out of state, some took jobs with great pay raises. Some moved out of town.
You are a disgruntle person. Grow up.

I worked there for a little while. My name is above. I left to go to another town. The state treasury is clearly a better place now than it was. Loftis inherited a shit hole of a place and has made it much much better.

James May 6, 2015 at 2:14 pm

I can’t believe someone put innocent people’s name on they internet blog post. How cheesy is that?

People should be able to live an honest life without being used as pawn by some lazy, disgruntled former employee.

GFYCML May 6, 2015 at 10:11 pm

people should be able to earn an honest pay, without fear of workplace violence, retribution for speaking common sense to a bug boy, and deviant behavior from a chief of staff that doesn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground, and does nothing but manipulate, lie, cheat, steal and lie some more.

And now one more resignation. Personnel director Karen Wicker, leaving in June.

ColumbiaManagement May 6, 2015 at 12:49 pm

Mismanage money Curtis? How about these examples of your
money mismanagement…

In December 2014, you requested, and received, $1,000,000 from the 529 plan (Columbia Management) for “operating expenses”. Yet you have only one part-time contract employee through Strategic Capital Solutions in your office (with a contract of $86K/year) managing the state side of this relationship. Is this million being used to fund your office conversion of new software that is way over budget? Is this your slush fund for other expenses not approved through the legislature? Why are you requesting this million if Columbia Management is doing the day-to-day management? This million is taken directly from the funds parents have contributed for their kid’s college education. The 529 plan is earning lower returns, and has higher “hidden” fees because of this and other transactions. Are you requesting this money from the 529 program in order to bypass your budget limit approved through the legislature?

The 529 Program is hosting a free breakfast for all legislators on May 28th. Where is this money coming from? Why are 529 funds being used to lobby the legislators?

Columbia Management is still running TV commercials with you in them. Yet you criticized (and Will Folks criticized) Converse Chellis for appearing on the TV commercials as well. Will Folks quote: “ridiculous taxpayer-funded future scholar commercials.” Why are you using 529 funds to self-promotion advertisements?

He was paid directly from the Bank of NY Mellon in order to avoid transparency in the State funds. No records, no violation.. right. No mention , no notes in the STO. Pure as an Easter daylily… Pure.. right Excellent work! …right… Jake, The state treasurer, Curtis M. Loftis is a vile pile of shit to the tune of billions lost to the State of SC.

of course Jake knows all these details…and then some. after all, jake is the treasurer. The sorry piece of shit has no balls, so he posts a ton of garbage on here trying to boost his own ego under a bunch of false names. Of course, there were all the other times that he paid interns to sit in the STO posting on Fits for him.

Investigate now May 6, 2015 at 4:42 pm

Reading these comments expose some serious allegations that must be investigated. Destruction of government records, exposure of personally identifiable information, hostile work environment, fraud in the 529 program, and other issues of a personal nature. I hope the Feds are looking into this troubling pattern of behavior. We should demand better out of our elected officials.

Investigate now, you are right. Destroying personal information and data of South Carolinians is a crime and exposing the data is a breach of security and is a crime. Did Loftis, destroying the hard drive of his state owned computer commit a crime? Did he commit a crime exposing the personal information of you and me in this violation of protocol? Did Loftis expose the personal data of people in this state by taking his state owned computer to a private company to have the hard drive replaced? Is it a breach of trust and a violation of the law.?

The legislature gave the STO $270,000 for security after the DOR security breach.. $56,000 are unaccounted for . Where is that money? My tax payer money? Where did Loftis take that money? Is that money in his pockets?

Nick, the IC meetings are recorded on tape. You need to look at the meetings on tape or attend the meetings in person and your questions will be answered. You sure sound stupid asking questions that have already been answered and are on tape . If you are not a retiree of this State. this does not concern you. Your IRA is great. But it does not include the State pension fund. So get lost and STFU.

Whistleblower May 6, 2015 at 4:48 pm

There’s significant evidence of fraudulent activity coming from the State Treasurer’s Office. How was the Treasurer’s Office able to pay the Bank of New York Mellon’s custody bill’s last summer and fall? Were funds diverted from other agencies and budgets such as DMV funds? Do Chief of Staff Clarissa Adams’ initials appear on the approval form for the diversion of these funds? How much did this six figure payment cost? Did the legislature give approval in the state budget? Why has so much money been diverted from Unclaimed Property this year? Did Curtis or Clarissa approve this transaction? What is it paying for? Why have fees increased so much in the Local Government Investment Program? What are they paying for? Who are the contract employees making hundreds of dollar every hour they work to implement an IT system? Have there been cost overruns? How much did settling the Amick case cost the taxpayer? Did Curtis break the law? Did he settle it to avoid it coming up the primary?How much does the State still owe the Bank of New York? Why does the State owe money after the lawsuit was settled? Did the settlement funds come in as cash? Or was it a reduction in the amount the State owes Bank of New York?

What has Loftis accomplished in his first term? Nothing., for the people of this state.. but his pockets are full .. Where does the money come from? The retirees? The 529 fund? The DMV ? The Bank of New York Mellon? He is getting money for sure. Where does he get money? Does he have a deal with the Bank of New York Mellon? Why would he sign a 10 years contract with the same Bank that lost over 200 million dollars to the trust fund? Does the bank of New York Mellon transfer money to the bank account of his intimate personal attorney? Does the Bank of New York transfer money to Curtis Saluda Charitable foundation and to the Ukraine? Good grief.. The Ukraine… we have many problems here in this State that the Saluda Charitable Foundation could address., if it was a true honest charitable foundation. Honest it is not…
Is The Saluda Charitable foundation a cover up for laundering money? Transparency here needed badly.

Violent disgusting temper, insulting to his own staff, cameras in offices and hallways, breaking and throwing things at staff..Go away. Curt will never be governor because he will be in jail .

Capitol man/Curt. Curtis is a fraud and he fools you because you are not very clever and you sure do not do your homework. If you want to post your opinion , you should do your homework. First, go the the IC and watch the meetings which are recorded. Second, try to watch Loftis in the senate chamber while the bill is debated. Good luck on that… Loftis is absent from the Senate chamber.. Loftis is absent from meetings or walks from meetings. Let us get rid of this parasite! No one can work with him or for him! A saint he is NOT and a role model to young men, he is NOT. Can we name names, Curt?

Melvin Curtis (MC) – its all starting to fall apart now. You can feel it. You know what’s coming. They are going to rip you to shreds. Since you are so very adamant that all of these “anti-loftis” posts are false, please, please, PLEASE, post a legitimate argument in your defense. Simply stating that they are lies and inaccurate only makes you look like infantile (which, by the way, is your style, and gives your posts away immediately). Don’t pity anyone. You are NOBODY, so your pity means nothing. Your soul is the one to be pitied. Your poor mother and father have to hang their head in shame when your name is mentioned. What a total embarrassment and disgrace you are to the loftis name.

i have seen nothing in these comments that is falsely accusing Lofts of anything. In fact, these are only the highlights in these comments. There is more…a lot more.

Just because you fully believe the “if I say it enough, it will become true” mantra, doesn’t mean the people of this state will believe it. You had them going for a while curtis, with all your rhetoric, but the problem is, an empty suit can only last so long…and now you are deflating.

maybe if you weren’t so corrupt yourself, it wouldn’t be so hard to face what’s coming. If you don’t want to have to scurry when the lights come on, then quit be a filthy cockroach!
