A few years ago, my little town (which has no history of embezzlement) found that $2M was missing from our school account (it wasn’t embezzled). They had a big public meeting. To explain the lack of embezzlement. A number of official stood up and talked about the sloppy bookkeeping (and how this wasn’t embezzlement). They explained that the money was just gone (not embezzled) and could not be recovered. No one would be prosecuted (because nothing was embezzled) and we just had to move on.
Sloppy bookkeeping. [shrug] What can you do?
Town officials.
Lamp Post.
Rope.
Some assembly required.
