Greed. Furs, jewals...really?
jewels.
Oh yeah! Jewels, gold, crystal, chandeliers, designer dresses, furs, art, furniture. They had a big auction of her belongings here in town which didn’t raise a fraction of what she stole. The list in the newspaper went on for pages.
The odd thing about this crime is that her hubby is a prominent surgeon, and she held down a $300,000 job as VP, comptroller, etc. at Koss. They were on the boards of several different institutions (such as local colleges) and she could always be counted on to raise millions $$$ for whatever charity ball that she was heading.
Several people have gone to jail over her shenanigans — mainly because they never blew the whistle on her. They covered her tracks for a cut of a couple of thousand $$$.
I think 11 years was a slap on the wrist — even though she lost everything, including her marriage. The big question is where was Koss? Didn’t they notice that $4.5 million was missing?
