Here is more info from the El Paso Times on the “how”:
“According to the information, between July 2004 and October 2007, Enriquez allegedly used a fax machine to order withdraw money in the name of her employer from the insurance company’s investment accounts in Massachusetts. When the check arrived at the El Paso office, she would cash them, allegedly forging her boss’s signature, according to the document.”
Looks good in the magazines and papers but just how is the court going to find what she spent and retrieve the funds? How about some hard jail time with no patrol.
The continuing saga of Office Employee Theft! How many of you out there in IJ-Land know Agencies and Co’s that have experienced and CONTINUE to experience theft by their most trusted personnel? It has happened to me, and it is most difficult to prove in court if Cash is involved. If you lose in court…you stand to be hit with slander and libel. It is a double-edge sword that will slice your hands and not the thief’s. Add Theft to the expense of running your business and you left penniless. The perils of business ownership and working for nothing. Yes, they ought make a LOUD AND CLEAR EXAMPLE OF THIS THIEF!
I absolutely agree with you…Make the punishment very harsh and the crime won’t be worth the cost. Now if we would just also do the same with CEOs ect. who wreck companies and get huge severance packages when they leave.Example(President of AIG…$47 million) It should be criminal to take money for a job very poorly done. What happened to just being fired like the rest of the world employees, or am I being too old fashioned?

Good luck on this one.
