“Larry was committed to making New Mexico a better place to live as much as anybody I ever knew, and was one of the most positively impactful leaders New Mexico has had in recent memory,” said friend Steve Moise, the state’s investment officer. “He worked to improve our educational system and our business climate and wanted every child to have the opportunity to receive a quality education, get a good job and move up the economic ladder.”

A 57-year-old Park Ridge man was one of four additional people charged this week in a conspiracy to embezzle funds from a failed Chicago bank.
The indictment alleges that Marek Matczuk, who was a contractor, was involved with other conspirators to embezzle $31 million from Washington Federal Bank for Savings and falsify bank records.
According to the indictment, Matczuk, who had an ownership interest in Mark M Group Inc., received stolen funds as the proceeds of bogus loans.
Washington Federal was shut down in December 2017 after authorities determined that the bank was insolvent.
