Regarding his wife being in on the scam:<p>&gt; 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.”<p>That is amazing. What a great article.<p>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&#x27;t even fire him. They were just like, &quot;Don&#x27;t do that any more.&quot;<p>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.

<i>“What’s so typical,” said an interested neighbor eating lunch at an area cafe the afternoon of the sentencing, “is he bought depreciable items! If he’d just invested in the market, he could have replaced the money, taken his share, and they would have been none the wiser.”</i><p>Indeed. Reading stories like this, I&#x27;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?

&gt;He retrieved the stash and poured all the jewelry into an insulated Whole Foods bag, then he drove down to Lady Bird Lake, on the edge of downtown. With the bag in his hand, he walked to a secluded bend, hoping he wouldn’t be interrupted by some stroller-pushing, power-walking busybody, and he began scattering the treasure behind trees, bushes, rocks—the way one might hide eggs at Easter. It made him cringe to imagine a dog peeing on his $25,000 Patek Philippe Aquanaut watch, his $22,359 Ulysse Nardin watch, or any of the other watches and gold bars he’d grabbed on his way out the door in Corsicana. When he ran out of hiding places, he tossed the rest in the lake, resisting the urge to jump in, fish it out, and stuff it all back in the bag.<p>lmao, incredible.
