I wouldn’t have thought that the SEALS would let liberals anywhere near their funds (or anywhere else, for that matter).
And the woman is obviously a liberal.
$200 makes the news. Meanwhile Clinton cannot account for 100’s of millions to Haiti.
What a lowlife. Stealing from widows and their children...
Jail. For a long time.
One of the under-reported (in my opinion) stories of the past 10 years is the proliferation of charities and how they have been abused. Some 501c3 charities are literally operated by families out of their houses. You get hit by a hurricane, you have a disabled vet in your family, you have a sick son or daughter, someone in your family is the victim of a horrible crime and Presto! You can start a charity. But there are no controls and no audits and people are fallible so sometimes — many times in recent years — you get things like this happening. Its why I don’t give to these smaller, newer charities.
Sounds like it is more than a $200 deal. Glad they caught her.
I’ve had a couple decent co-workers get themselves into trouble this way. Unfortunately, our company couldn’t prosecute them without compromising our customers. In “James” case, his caper started with an innocent mistake double dipping bewteen an expense report and corporate CC charges. Apparently, inexplicably, he got hooked when the mistake went unnoticed. He grew his little personal wealth with some strategic planning and took us for between $75K and 150K over the course of 2 years.
Here in NY, you can see near daily reports of middle-aged people stealing like this from their churches, small businesses and families.
One trend I’ve noticed is the excuse given is almost always to support a gambling habit.
Seems to be a greatly increasing trend since the State of NY got into the gambling business in corrupt cooperation with local Indian tribes (and lately, just themselves).
The charity should have had the systems in place to catch the fraud well before 100k was spent.
James 1:27New International Version (NIV)
27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.
Well, hubby’s naval career just went down the toilet.
