Agreed - for those that missed it on this long thread see post # 540 for federal charges re: N.O. school corruption

From the first time I heard about the storm called Katrina, it reminded me of the expression "powerful Katrinka." This was a comic strip character in the '20's or '30's. Folks of a certain age would refer to any woman showing physical strength as a "Katrinka."

Found a pic of a Katrinka collectible and some info here:

"Sorry that couple weren't Christian enough to step in to stop it."
Uncalled for. Their faith has nothing to do with witnessing and being unable to stop a heinous crime. Shame on you.
Maybe they were not black, jewish, hindu, or naturalist enough.

How do the illegal immigrants get away with fake social security cards?

Here's the thing...by law new employees must provide TWO forms of identification. A decent human resource department always makes sure this is provided.

If the SS is a fake number, and often they are, the payroll department does not get notification from the IRS until sometimes MONTHS after the employee is working.

There is no way a payroll or human resource department can know if an SS card is fake. The feds will find out once the paperwork is turned in BUT...like I say, often waaaay after the fact.

What often happened was the security departments, hey even the nurses, would have their paperwork turned in by the DEPARTMENT. Payroll had to assume that the department checked those two forms of ID. And this does not account for employees on a payroll from a long time ago.

It's easy to do, really. I could do it with half my brain tied behind my back.

Tony Snow must be really onto something with all the "phantom" cops on the payroll . . .

...an accounts payable employee stealing thousands of dollars.

This strikes a chord. I am a vendor for 3 very large corporations who are distributors. Two of them have the accounts payable staff from hell. Invoices are never paid on time. Checks are dated w/the date of the shipment received (once, it was dated prior to shipment). Envelopes are franked on a postage meter and have any old date they choose, or so seems, as the dates never match the actual time it takes in the real world to get from there to here. I only get paid on time when I am holding a second order for shipment and inform them I will not ship until prior invoices are paid. Net 30 accounts are guaranteed to pay in 59 days. Due on receipt accounts are guaranteed to pay in 29 days. The accounts payable folks have a list of excuses that are laughable (It is the post office; we are waiting for the authorization of operating funds; we couldn't read the invoice (Quick Books generated); we only have the name of your line listed, not the company name; it says in my computer the check was cut 3 weeks ago; I'll have to call you back/is this the party I spoke to last week?...) I know in one case, an entire department was fired. However, that company was subsequently sold to a huge international corporation that is closely held from overseas and from the day they took control, the same game began again.

A relative who has worked in accounts payable has intimated that this is a theft operation in action, but I actually didn't believe them. Guess I was naive and this is really common?

NO schools had a similar situation just a few years ago .. my memory is $40M disappeared into a hole (while the schools can't or don't teach, and are dilapidated). WOnder if Aunt Phyllis Landrieu will step down next ? ha !

[tazannie]

wouldn't there also be expenses for health insurance, etc.? I wonder how they handled that.

[i_dont_chat]

There was an FBI investigation about Police Officers on the Payroll ... but no people to match the names

This is HUGE

Shepard Smith is preparing an investigation on 'paper officers', up to 450 of them, within the NOPD.

I brought this up as a possibility on FR days ago. I got LOL'd. I still believe it could be true.

[uncitizen]

New Orleans is paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to non-existant teachers.

What's the story with this?
