Two staffers of the International School of Monterey in Seaside, California, were arrested for embezzling $300,000 of the school's money.
The school became alerted to suspicious activity when they noticed an excessively large order from Costco.
No, really!

Terry Bumper, the school's former food services director, also owns a catering business called Flava 2 You, and he allegedly used the school's account to order $58,800 of eggs, bacon, and potatoes for his personal use.

The school's investigation into their food services director uncovered an even bigger financial problem.
The New York Times reports,
His alleged misuse of money led the school to uncover another massive fraud, according to investigators.
Chief Financial Officer Rosa Segura allegedly siphoned more than $238,000 from school funds to pay for personal expenses, including luxury vacations, restaurants, spas, and online shopping, authorities said.
The 45-year-old "made Bumper look like a saint the way she was ripping off the school," Borges told the Los Angeles Times.
Bumper denies any embezzlement and maintains he never used school funds for his catering business.
‘I did everything I could for them kids, and I would never steal from them kids,' Bumper told Monterey County NOW in an interview. According to him, his coworker Segura held final approval over all orders.
‘I have no support right now,' Bumper says. ‘Nobody believes me.'
Both Bumper and Segura face felony embezzlement charges.

Oh my, how usual
Pigs at the trough.
They keep telling me that all the evils of the world are caused by straight white Christian men. But I look around and all I see are blacks, females, immigrants and muslims ripping us off on the daily.
“and he allegedly used the school’s account to order $58,800 of eggs, bacon, and potatoes for his personal use.” They eat well.
