What you have described about your old managing agent is considered Grand Larceny. With proof in hand I would report this crime to your District Attorney. WHY? It seems your secretary of the board and your executive board members should have known this.
Your new managing agent should have advised the boards lawyer and press charges and hold the old agent responsible for this crime.
Can you inform us of your ex-managing agents name so others boards not hire or have them. Best of Luck
Thank you for the information! All the shareholders are aware of the situation, as we were informed when they asked for this 1,000,000 amt in a letter. The previous management was Anker management 200 North Central Ave. suite 340, Hartsdale, NY 10530. I was told by a Board member that the previous board was "NEGLIGENT" NOT "CRIMINAL!" SEE MY FRUSTRATION! The board did not invite the atty to the annual meeting because that would cost them $500 for him to attend, I guess the accountant came for free, but DID'NT HAVE any financial information to give us! We a group of 4 have sent a letter to the Bronx DA Darcel Clark asking for an audit of both management companies. I have also reached out to an assemblyman to help try to guide us in this situation

As PC#1 pointed out, you're facing a long list of incompetence and possibly criminal activity. Your board, as the legal representatives of your co-op corporation, needs to contact the co-op's attorney immediately and inform them of what's going on. No individual shareholder nor board member should take any action on their own, except to contact your attorney.
In the event your board can't or won't contact your attorney, you may have to do so independently, but that is a last resort.
How widespread among the shareholders is the knowledge of what's been going on? It is better to work as and with a group on something like this and not individually.
