NCUA Director of Congressional and Public Affairs John McKechnie dropped a bombshell in response to criticism that the agency acted too swiftly in its June 25 conservatorship of the $876 million Arrowhead Credit Union: Arrowhead fudged its March numbers.

"The credit union presented a safety and soundness concern, necessitating last week's conservatorship.

The NCUA also put in place expert management in an effort to improve Arrowhead's declining financial condition."
