Investigators for the Louisiana Attorney General executed a search warrant Friday at ACORN's New Orleans office in connections to allegations of embezzlement and tax fraud.
Spokeswoman Tammi Arender Herring said the search warrant was executed shortly after 9 a.m. and resulted in the seizure of computers, hard drives and documents.
"It is quite a bit of stuff," Herring said, adding that ACORN officials were "extremely cooperative."
The search warrant follows the removal of computers and other items by two unidentified former ACORN employees when they left the organization, according to ACORN attorneys.
Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell said the original allegations of embezzlement were made last year by ACORN board members who were terminated after asking for an examination of the activist group's books.
ACORN fired its longtime director of its Louisiana chapter last month, citing a lack of accountability.
Calls to Brian Kettenring, a spokesman for ACORN, were not immediately returned.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

If memory serves correctly, Wade Rathke was one of ACORN's founders in Arkansas, and wasn't it his brother that stole money from the organization in New Orleans? Hopefully all their dirty linen will be aired out in the open soon. -
