What is not generally known (and undoubtedly suppressed by leftist feminist journalists) is the fact that since women have gained jobs in many areas of business responsibility, the amount of embezzlement by female employees has rise precipitously. Statistics from various gov. sources say the ratio is 2-1 female to male in cases of embezzlement over large sums, but other sources put the number of women being the offender at 75-80%. The typical offender is a single female in her mid to late forties given complete authority over funds for businesses or charity orgs and such.
I became aware of this phenomenon about ten years ago while reading the paper at work. It seemed every other week I'd read about an embezzlement case involving large sums of money. Virtually every offender was female. One case in recent years involved the female mayor of San Diego who stole millions of dollars intended for a public charity.
Since males are usually the offender in the great majority of other crimes, was this crime of greed the one area where women outperformed men? It appears so. My wife really became irritated when I mentioned this phenomenon to her, and she, of course began railing about all the crime men commit. Which is true: men easily lead women in virtually every other area of crime you can mention. But the canard that women are guiltless/blameless perfect angels who will lead the world to utopia is undermined by the fact that many women will steal you blind if put in positions of power.
I didn’t know those statistics, but immediately after reading this thread, I saw one about an IRS employee embezzling them for four years. Female? Yup. Started once she was given an IRS credit card. Bought all sorts of things from cosmetics to Ginzu knives, then forged the receipts given to her superiors.
Hmmm...That is an interesting hypothesis you put forward. It does indeed seem, anecdotally, that it is usually women. Several cases come to mind, right now.
