Postal Worker Stole $1.6M in Tax Return Checks to Fund Trips to Strip Clubs

My man...

Who the hell still gets refunds with paper checks?

Isn't greed amazing He probably could've gotten away free and clear with a dozen deposits instead he thought he was invincible

At least it went to a good cause.

There was a story in the news last week that a purchasing agent at the Indiana University School of Dentistry stole about $160,000 in gold. He placed purchase orders from a dental supply company and specified the packages be delivered to his desk. It went on for a couple of years. It didn’t say, but it seems in cases like this, the thefts are either to cover gambling debts or for a strip club addiction.

Another case of a dumb criminal. He always sold his gold at the same cash for gold place instead of moving around.

If I committed a federal crime while stealing $1.6M, the first place I would go is a non-extradition treaty country.

It was so convenient that he kept the receipts! Oh, but he tore them in half so they couldn't be read, LOL!

I rarely get anything of value via USPS, literally 98% of my mail is junk. All my taxes are filed on-line, and refunds are direct deposit. I pay zero bills via check unless my bank needs to send one, then it is on them to make sure it gets to the recipient. I've moved as many things as I can to email or web access. I could get USPS 1x per week and be fine. I was gone on a 10-day trip, and all the mail I had held at the USPS was just junk. Important stuff I use FedEx.

I get some older folks use and get checks, and do not use websites or the Internet at all. Just too risky.

What I don't get is how he was able to deposit checks, one was $400K, and the bank never thought to look a tad deeper for authenticity.

@goldmongerATL thieves can be real stupid. One word for this guy: SHREDDER. I shred all receipts from purchases I don't need to keep, unless they were cash. And, when I recycle catalogs or junk mail with my name one it I tear off the address page to shred and then toss the material for recycling.

BTW, I don't read "People" - I saw this last night on Gutfeld!.
