Summary
Someone at Pittsburg City Hall got phished and nearly $1 million of your tax money went to a scammer instead of the Seeno developers it was supposed to pay. The money left the building without anyone catching it — which raises the obvious question of what safeguards the city actually has on its payments.

Impact analysis
Nearly $1 million in public money went out the door to a scammer, and if it isn't recovered, the city could end up eating the loss or paying the developers twice.
Whoever ran the phishing scam walked away with close to a million dollars — and the city's bank or insurer could end up covering part of the tab.
You and every other Pittsburg taxpayer, plus the Seeno developers who never got paid, plus any city services that take a hit if the money isn't clawed back.
