Not A Big Deal
I’m a paralegal. I had a client get a judgment for embezzling from a former employer to the tune of $142k. Essentially, she was promoted to office manager, given the responsibility of making the deposits daily, and started pocketing the cash. She then cooked the books at the office to show the clients’ accounts as paid. Prior to the hearing for judgment, she began to see the writing on the wall.
As she did, she said, “It shouldn’t be this big of deal, it’s only blown up because my former employer’s husband is friends with the DA”. Yes…that’s why.
