$1.8 billion wasn't just sitting in a bank account in South Carolina waiting to be spent.

Instead, it was an accounting error compounded over years instead of being reconciled.

Questions remain about why wasn't the error reported when it was first discovered back around 2018 .

Investigators are trying to determine if it was just a series of mistakes or whether state employees tried to cover up.
