The former chief financial officer of a Middleborough-based shoe company was federally charged Wednesday and agreed to plead guilty to embezzling about $30 million from the company. Since 2015, Hajjar transferred $15 million in funds stolen from the shoe company to Garza and her company, including a $1.1 million co-op apartment in New York City. He also bought her a Mercedez-Benz, a $60,000 diamond bracelet, a $158,000 diamond ring and other luxury goods, the company said in the lawsuit against Garza. According to the complaint, Hajjar purchased two pairs of earrings that totaled nearly $200,000 and two diamond rings that cost $241,000 for a person who is listed as “Individual 1.” A civil lawsuit filed by Alden Shoe Co. Inc., names former Boston news anchor Bianca de la Garza as the recipient.

I think Aldens are the best shoes made in America, by far. I’ve been wearing them for decades and own several pair. They also have an excellent shoe restoration program.

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of having to go to prison.

Moral of the story: He should have been in Congress where embezzling is an honored tradition.

Bezo’s wife actually brought something to the table and was part of a growing corporation.
