1 Woman, 2 (or more) Companies, over $1.5 million

So back in March, I came across this article from the KC Star detailing a woman's theft of $300k from the company she worked/ managed payroll for.

http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article66199102.html

Most of the money, per the article, went to trips and gambling (I'm going to guess trips to gamble myself).  

Being both a Finance and Accounting dork and a writer naturally I saved the article (thank you Pinterest's ability to let me electronically horde)

Then today this dandy bit hit.  Same woman.  Previous employer.  $1.2 million from them doing the same thing.  Oh, and a bit of identity theft.  

http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article79582592.html

She apparently started this 'habit' years early when she forged checks at a retirement community (which is what John Knox Village is).  She pled guilty of that crime.  This, of course, makes me wonder about the accuracy of vetting employees in some companies.

Yes, I've saved the second article as well.

Wow. Someone who has pled guilty to embezzling over $3000 should not be hired for a job that  gives her access to over one million dollars. Even if they knew her record and believed she was a recovering gambling addict, they should have had mulitiple safeguards in place to keep an eye on her. I'm no accountant, but YIKES!

      She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there. So maybe it was clean when it came home but then the food got in it? 

      I think she just lied.  She didn't want to admit that she hadn't even opened the cabinet and cleaned it out so she blamed it on the boys.  They'd have no reason to put bread in there and, honestly, it didn't look like bread crumbs.  Abbie was so excited over her latest ugly find that it hadn't occurred to her to clean it up first.

      I think the little boys just get up to lots of shenanigans because Braggie refuses to supervise them.

      I think with all of Josh’s issues, the families still in AR, for the most part, have hunkered down and are protecting their own family’s privacy. The less they expose themselves, the less pushback and snark they receive.

      Which of course is a smart move in my opinion.

      People on Reddit think Joy wasn't there, which is understandable since she went through something similar. Going to something like that would probably just bring all that pain back up.

      RE: number of c-sections - I've heard of women in Europe being told 2 only; my friend's parents argued that Americans do more and their doctor okayed four. Women in US 4 only. But have met women who have had 5 sections. Two women I know were told at their last c-section (3rd and 5th) that their uterus was at the point of rupture and advised them to not have any more pregnancies. My point is it's very individual and a doctors should consider individual circumstances.
