Shoulda Used The 'I Was Testing Your Security' Defense Instead
-
You get a good job and you realize that you can, if you want, submit phony invoices for expenses and they'll reimburse you, because nobody but you is checking. Would you do that? No, you wouldn't, but a former HBO employee did, creating her own company and getting payments of almost a million dollars for it. Her excuses: she was upset after an HIV diagnosis, and -- this is where it's a topic -- because HBO had "lax spending standards." Blame the victim. That reasoning is like, hey, if you don't know I'm stealing from you, that's on YOU. She got 30 months in jail and a restitution requirement anyway. (Los Angeles Times)
