****purchase several Visa vanilla prepaid debit cards worth $41,000***

Several?

The max you can load on a Vanilla debit card is $500.

According to my ciphering that is a minimum of 82 debit cards.

Looks like they caught her on a 3-year audit cycle ... and they need to audit more often or find out where the system broke down in this case. Perhaps she had an accomplice in the department that pays the bills.

Here, let me answer that for you.

When posting it is required to select the "General Topic."

When you go to that category there is an option for "Current Events." Current events is described as Religion or religion-related news of the day.

No mention of theology.

So the answer is clearly no.

Is there anything particularly religious about embezzlement?
