Default Trouble runs in this political family

This involves the brother of former Congressman "Dollar" Bill Jefferson who is serving time in federal prison after being convicted of bribery. Dollar Bill is the guy who stashed $90,000 in ill-gotten gains in his freezer. The Jeffersons were sort of a political dynasty in New Orleans, and they used their political power and elected offices to enrich themselves. Another brother, Mose Jefferson, was convicted of bribery in a separate case. A sister, Betty Jefferson, got in trouble for stealing money from taxpayer-supported charities and from her assessor office.
