Just Desserts: A Strange Tale of Fruitcakes and the Collins Street Bakery (opens in new tab)

lmao, incredible.

> Sandy told the authorities that Kay had played no part in his scheme, though he might have been more convincing if he’d remembered that they could read his email, like the one in which he wrote Kay, “Remember: you never knew anything.”

That is amazing. What a great article.

When I worked on Wall St we had a dude on my desk on the trading floor steal 30k in black car (upscale cars before Uber existed) and bill it to our firm. They didn't even fire him. They were just like, "Don't do that any more."

We also had a secretary at our firm recently put 13k of her personal expenses on the bosses credit card. She paid all of his bills and he never got them, so nobody found out until after she got fired (for other reasons) and they finally looked at his invoices.

Indeed. Reading stories like this, I'm always struck by the sheer incompetence and greed of the perps, and how many warning signs everybody else manages to miss. How many other tales like this are there that we never hear about, because the thief had half a clue?

He was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
