California school staffers busted in $300K embezzlement scheme after massive Costco breakfast order blew their cover

Two staffers at a Central Coast charter school have been arrested after allegedly embezzling nearly $300,000 from school funds.

The International School of Monterey in Seaside were alerted to the illegal activity after Terry Bumper, the school’s former food services director, placed a suspiciously large Costco order for eggs, bacon, and potatoes.

A school administrator flagged the exorbitant shopping spree, which led Seaside Police to uncover that Bumper, 42, had embezzled $58,800 from the school by ordering products he used in his personal catering business, Flava 2 You, which he launched in 2023.

Bumper is also accused of renting out the school’s kitchens for personal profit.

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. Segura was arrested for felony embezzlement on Oct. 22.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

More fraud.

Not one homeowner should be paying property taxes given the level of fraud in our nation.

The tip-off is that the kids at those schools never complained about the food.

It's becoming clearer why Blacks and Latinos never got the top jobs.

Was it a conservative Christian school? Criminals hate religious conservatives.
