The New York City comptroller’s office, which first noticed the missing money, said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had unilaterally taken the funds from the city’s accounts.

To be clear: this isn’t the “we stopped paying promised grant money” but is literally the federal government yanking money out of an NYC bank account.

    Mind you, NYC accepted a deposit from the federal government. Kinda like your employer deciding they didn’t feel like giving you your last paycheck, and yanking it back.
