When Minnie K. Patton wrote her will, she left a portion of her estate to the Dallas County Community College District Foundation to create a scholarship in her name. She'd grown up poor and uneducated in rural Oklahoma and wanted to give students the shot at upward mobility that she wouldn't have had had she not married into money. Her will didn't provide many guidelines for doling out the scholarships, stipulating only that recipients "must demonstrate their capacity and desire for their education as well as their need for assistance." The task of deciding which students fit those criteria fell to Daphne Hughes, who was put in charge of DCCCD's scholarship program in May 2011. Her method of doing this quickly raised eyebrows. In July 2012, an employee of El Centro college complained to district auditors that the school's scholarship committee found itself with only enough money to fund six out of more than 50 applications for the Minnie K. Patton Scholarship; the funds are supposed…

In early 2019, Cyndey Walters received a $2 million settlement as a result of suffering serious injuries in an accident on a construction site. As a result, she immediately quit her job as a plumber for a construction company and began to search for rundown houses in her neighbour hood that she could buy at a low price. Her objective was to bring her houses up to code (i.e., in accordance with building regulations) and then rent them to individuals who could not afford adequate housing. Cyndey charged just enough rent to cover the expenses of each house. By March 2020, she owned five houses that were rented to five families. She continued working part time as a plumber while she took courses toward a degree in social work. Cyndey came from a large family, many members of which were involved in construction. She called on her family for help when her tenants needed services, and they gave her a family dis- count for their services. In June 2021, she learned that the owner of two…
