So, the ghosts get paychecks sent to....someone, a PO Box, and address. How hard would it be to find out who's benefiting?

I don't think an HR department would allow a paycheck to be issued to a PO box but having been out from payroll for a few years, who knows? Just requesting such a thing would be quite odd. Folks are funny about their paychecks.

As for finding out who benefits from ghost employees, it would require one of two things...an actual paycheck that must be cashed. Then it's a matter of getting a redeemed check and verifying the signature on back.

If it's a direct deposit payment, then it would require finding out who is owner of the account and who all can draw on it.

With my entire brain tied behind my back I could do it.

It's interesting now that I think about it. But at this current twilight of my career, I do freelance consulting. Indeed I am paid by business owners just to check their operations. Mostly to see if anyone's stealing of if there are holes in their system that would allow it.

Last week I was in a campground office, overseeing their cash operations. Within five minutes I spotted a great big hole and hey, it's such a simple thing.

But when people came in to pay their site fees and if they paid with cash, NO ONE WAS GIVING THEM A RECEIPT!

Now there is way an employee who decided to just keep the cash would get caught. In the case of a mobile home site, there is an accounts receivable ledger. REsidents of mobile homes can be evicted just like apartment dwellers.

Every month the system automatically generates a late list and court proceedings are immediately begun.

It take two to three months to evict someone so landlords start it all off just as soon as a tenant is over five days late.

If an employee just kept cash payments, the receivable ledger would not be updated and court proceedings would begin on a tenant who did pay the rent, albeit to an employee who kept the cash.

Without a receipt for cash, duplicate, neither the tenant or the employee has any record of where the cash went or even if it was paid. Any late paying tenant could claim that they gave the money to JAne Doe Frontdesk. While Jane Doe Frontdesk can deny any such thing.

It's why receipts, with a carbon copy kept in the office, must ALWAYS be given when a cash transaction is made.

It's simple shit like this that causes most employee and intra-company thievery, I'm serious.

I blew off two roofs over this transgression and the property manager immediately implemented a receipt system for all transactions, even checks. Which isn't necessary but save that for next lesson. Cash, however, is, well it's cash. And all that it implies.

Next month, hand to God, they caught an employee stealing in this exact manner. Tenant paid cash for site rent, his receivable account was not updated because JAne Doe Frontdesk just kept the money. Remember the receivable account has to match the cash deposit every damn day. Whatever's debited to receivables should be credited in the checking account.

It ain't rocket science.

If you don't update the receivable account than the daily cash won't be short. No one will ever know if you keep the cash.

Until the tenant gets a court notice and marches into the office with HIS receipt. Signed by Jane Doe Frontdesk.

She got fired immediately. Guess she didn't get it why she had to suddenly start issuing receipts for cash paymanets, smirk, smirk.

I can spot fraud just by looking at a bunch of numbers. I am, not that I am proud of it, very good at it.

Been there. Done that. And for the right fee, I'll oversee all that money to NO and not one dime will go to fraud, guaranteed.

Unless Moose lives in NOLA he's not even on the radar --- NOLA requires all officers live in Orleans Parish -- and therein lies the crux of the problem -- they have to promote from within and they ran out of good employees and started hiring ex-cons and exponging their record afterthey got out of the academy... most had ties to the drug community and other bad guys and arrests went down and murders went up...

For all Shehans complaints about 2000 soldiers dead in two years of Iraq why wasn't anyone concerned that 500 people a year were being murdered in NOLA? A town of 1/2 million and an outrageous corrupt government and crime rate.

Hi PC....haven't seen you for awhile...

Hi! I have been kind of laying low lately. I just couldn't resist jumping in and making a comment. How are you and Mike doing? Our daughter's boyfriend is in Iraq now. From what we can tell, he's kind of in the thick of things. Just know that when he was home on leave earlier, he was as jumpy as all get out. Due home mid-November, but...

I remember how our guys kept getting their date pushed further and further back. Boy that seems like yesterday doesn't it? Here it's been about a year and a half. My how time flies! Mike hasn't gone back yet has he?

Whoa . . . scandal coming down . . . look out . . .

The Rats always scream and shout and make a lot of noise to obfuscate and distract, and with the help of the MSM stir up quite a frenzy... but all we have to do is sit back and watch as the truth starts coming out with a quiet dignity that drowns out all the shouting.

It's getting surreal. It's as though there is two realities in the news world today.

Yep. It's as if the MSM -- and all of the Left, for that matter -- exists in a parallel dimension which intersects our own. We both occupy the same space and time, but they live in a Twilight Zone where lie is truth, evil is good, up is down, etc.

Add that to Rather insisting his lie was truth and I see that the media is disintegrating before our eyes.

And the NYT leads that disintegration. Their own people studied the video of Geraldo helping with that rescue in NOLA and concluded the story the NYT printed was false. Yet the NYT adamantly stands behind the story. Like Rather, they are screaming to the world, "Yes, we know we lied, and now you know it too, but we still stand by our lies!" They are pathological.

Gotta hand it to Geraldo for threatening to sue. If he hadn't, there would have been no frame-by-frame study of that video in an attempt to fend off his suit, and no CYA conclusion that the story was false.

we've got to generate some disdain amongst the sheeple for the goings on in Lousiana

The sheeple are too busy watching Oprah, and if Oprah had been around during WWII, she would have brought Himmler on her show to shed a few crocodile tears and claim how compassionate he was for putting the Jews in "showers" so they wouldn't have to suffer being shot in the back of the head. Oprah is a very vile and evil woman who wears a very clever disguise that only those with eyes to see can see through.

The sheeple can keep up with all the convoluted plots in the soap operas they love, they can keep up with who sleeps with whom in Hollywood per the National Enquirer and the Star, but they can't connect the dots of what happens in real life, even when it's all spelled out for them. Thank Oprah in large part for that.

Nagin is 'more' than just a mayor.

I have had this little feeling since Week Two of this debacle, which doesn't go away, that Nagin is working undercover for someone. I won't go any further with this for fear of either making a fool of myself... or tipping sombody's hand.

Katrina is German and means "Pure".

And it starts with a "K" just like the Klan (the Klan)

Perhaps we should look at it from a different angle... that of Katrina being sent to purify LA of all the corruption.

Boy, I saw President Bush with Governor Blanco and I told my husband that he was really PO'd! I have NEVER seen him treat ANYONE like that! Plus, while she was talking he had that scrunched up look...chewing on his cheek and squinting his eyes...which he does when he is trying to hold his temper!

Dubya is a model Christian. He prays for his enemies. He is kind and gracious to them even as they are spewing venom in his face. When he behaves as he did in that presser, you gotta know that the evil he has seen in LA is very big indeed.

I didnt read all of these, came in too late. As a resident of Metairie (suburb in Jefferson Parish) I could have told you that a lot of crap was going down in New Orleans. Check out the stories on NOLA public schools, its a real doozie.

Katrina will be cleaning up NOLA in more ways than one. Will be mighty interesting to see how this minority, Democrat controlled corruption scandal is played out.

It's more than that, now. It's felony diversion of federal funds by putting phantom cops on the payroll.

Laz........ can you direct me to any more info on that "phantom cops claim"?

I was watching the hearing. One of the Republican congressmen asked Brown about it. He was consulting a document and noted that LA got more than Mass or Mo with the bigger cities of Saint Louis or Boston. Sorry, but I didn't note his name.

A lot of sheeple live in places where this sort of corruption is taken for granted and they sincerely doubt that any other reality exists. That's what I have learned from friends who lived in NYC, NJ, and Boston.
