An accountant who embezzled more than $500,000 from a San Antonio medical corporation over a three-year period, spending much of it on strippers, was sentenced Friday to 20 years in prison.
Mark Anthony Flores, 35, began the day by admitting to the theft and asking state District Judge Sid Harle to allow a jury to determine his punishment.
Defense attorney Demetrio Duarte asked the jury for probation, describing his client as someone who was “intoxicated†by women who would shower him with attention — as long as he kept buying them expensive gifts. Probation, he argued, would allow Flores to pay back Health Texas Medical Group.
But to pay the money back over a 10-year probation period, Flores would have to come up with more than $4,300 per month, prosecutor Patrick Ballantyne responded. Someone who would take so much money then spend it on such “an incredibly ridiculous lifestyle†deserves a 30-year term, he suggested.

“an incredibly ridiculous lifestyleâ€
Ridiculous lifestyle my ass! I take it Patrick Ballantyne has never been to Palace Mens club...or any other decent sc for that matter. Either that or he's putting up a serious front.

An accountant? He need to be in the Accounts Hall of Fame.

I sometimes wonder what it would feel like to spend several thousand dollars at a club instead of just a couple hundred or less.
Wouldn't you agree that there's kind of a ceiling to how much fun you can have by spending more, and after that point you are either just wasting your money or being generous?
