A man doesn’t put 800 pounds of fajita meat into his freezer.
We should hear more about “his own customers”. Taco wagons?
He didn’t eat $1.2 million in beef.
He was the one placing the orders and stealing them.
That’s how he got away with it for nine years.
They caught him because he called in sick on a delivery day, and whoever was standing in for him was surprised to get 800 fajitas that they never served.
Is what I got from the article.
I don’t even know anymore. Journalists these days are terrible opinionated hysterical writers that try to sway public opinion instead of what reporting actual is. Sometimes I can’t make heads or tails of what they are writing.
It was 800 pounds of fajita making ingredients I believe, or perhaps it was 800 pounds of ready-made fajitas. Either way he was ordering them. What is missing is how he took delivery and then transported them elsewhere. I do not believe the person who took the call was working as a replacement, but rather just the person that took the incoming call. And yes he had a doctors appointment scheduled that he was out which made him unavailable.
I find it helpful when reading manipulative articles of whatever persuasion, to skip the adjectives. It’s not a cure, because what they are probably omitting is at least as important as what they’ve included, but it drains most of the emotional bias out.
similar to that Dixon Il issue with govt worker
How in the world does this not get noticed in the bookeeping? Oh, wait....public sector f-ups. SNAFU.
Sometime later the Feds busted a bunch of City employees using city equipment and asphalt to run their own paving business.
While on the clock.
Charles Forbes headed up the Veteran’s Bureau in the 1920s. He sold off VA hospital goods to contractor buddies at a fraction of their cost, then bought the goods back at inflated prices.
He looted more than $200 million dollars of VA property. He was tried, convicted and fined all of $10,000 and sentenced to two years in prison. It was probably worth it to him.
No he didn’t. The article stated however they did find fajitas in his home refrigerator, so he apparently did imbibe in the fruits of his scheme.
10% commission.
This is not about one crooked man. It is about government corruption.

“After gathering documents from Labatt Food Service and the CountyAuditor’s Office, which included invoices, vouchers and purchase orders, the investigations unit concluded that Escaramilla had stolen $1,251,578 worth of fajitas...
The investigation showed a “total failure” of the chain of authority, especially since the Juvenile Justice Department had been exceeding its line item budget consistently, Saenz said.”
Reminds me of a parking lot story. After somrthing like 23 years a man retires from workinh at a parking lot. People start asking where his replacement is. The companybsays they have no record of this guy. He collected parking fees and kept them.
