“Former Facebook employee pleads guilty to stealing $4 million” (CNN):
An Atlanta woman pleaded guilty to stealing more than $4 million from Facebook while she was an executive at the company.
Barbara Furlow-Smiles who worked as a lead strategist, global head of employee resource groups and diversity engagement at Facebook, Inc., now known as Meta, from about January 2017 to September 2021 according to U.S. Attorney Northern District of Georgia Ryan K. Buchanan’s Office.
“This defendant abused a position of trust as a global diversity executive for Facebook to defraud the company of millions of dollars, ignoring the insidious consequences of undermining the importance of her DEI mission,” said Buchanan in a statement.
That last paragraph is my favorite. The U.S. government employee implies that the mission of DEI, despite its having been found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, is sacred.
The other interesting aspect is that she stole $4 million via expense account fraud. Where can the rest of us get an expense account big enough that $1 million per year in fraud isn’t detected for more than 4 years?
Loosely related… a Maskachusetts Congresswoman says that the Supreme Court is “corrupt”:
Maybe this is why federal employees can ignore the Court’s ruling that the principal objectives and methods of DEI are unconstitutional?
Is the former’s nickname Seabiscuit?
Good for her!
They created a bogus Fraudulent position and got defrauded, sounds like the scorpion and the frog….
You are triggering me by bringing up the student debt cancelling crap.
Triggering, I say!
Man, the Democrats are just dying to handout those billions, aren’t they? “Take it, take it, take billions of other people’s money! Totally illegal, totally evil, but take it anyway take it take it.” And if it wasn’t for the Supreme Court cock blockers they would have done that long ago. Geez Louis, I wish politicians would get tangled up in something good not evil just once.
Where can the rest of us get an expense account big enough that $1 million per year in fraud isn’t detected for more than 4 years? Facebook.
