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!

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though. 

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy.

      @Columbia, thanks for digging up that account! I remember that depressing saga as if it had happened yesterday. IMO, Bradrick! has many, many miles to go before he's able to redeem himself.

      Today she is in cargo type pants that are form fitting with her shirt tucked in. She doesn’t look obviously pregnant.

      Kelly was supposed to be the shining example of how stay-at-home-daughterhood was the perfect prescription for a young woman to seamlessly move into courtship, marriage and motherhood. She spoke at one of the VF Father-Daughter Retreats, she wrote articles for Vision Forum, the magazine carried a book she wrote about her grandfather in WW2, she had a big section in Return of the Daughters (starts around 26:60.) Their wedding was a huge event, and Doug Phillips made a big deal out of seeing their first kiss at the altar (I believe this indescribably weird photo came from that wedding.) I've always thought this was a good overview of her life within Vision Forum.

      I don't think so. They ran their own little "family ministry" on the side and frequented the conference circuit. One of the daughters also wrote occasionally for Vision Forum.

      Isn’t the infamous Wide Stance photo from this wedding, too? That one still makes me laugh til I can’t breathe!
