How was it an FBI case ?
The local FBI gets called into cases that often involve large amounts of money, especially when it’s a prestigious school such as the one I’m referring to if it is so requested. I don’t remember the total amount of product he stole, but tens of thousands of dollars would be on the low side.
My erstwhile friend was also involved in another situation on campus at the same time that involved tampering with cash...I’ll just leave it at that without identifying & exposing him since this case got a fair amount of local press.
