And many companies to not even press charges. They quietly let people that do this go because public companies are “embarrassed” that they could let something like this happen and private companies don’t want to deal with legal issues or enhanced audits. I have been in procurement for 30 years and have seem both instances happen several times. It amazes me. The last guy was estimated to have managed over $800K in supply chain kickbacks only to be let go with no law involved. Too embarrassing. Now he’s in the mid-west, likely doing the same thing.
When I worked for the power company some very attractive and totally dishonest female working in accounts payable would cut two checks for the same amount for a couple of the regular suppliers except the name on the duplicate check would just be slightly different from the real thing. She had set up business accounts at different banks for the slightly altered named businesses. I always wondered (until it came out) how she could afford a much nicer car than I had and all of her fancy clothes on a lot lower salary than I made. She was caught in an audit and had to make restitution, but never reached criminal court because the company did not want the embarrassment of looking like poor financial stewards
Yep, a serial embezzler. Bet that job isn't listed on her LinkedIn profile.
