    the thing is, anyone can be charged with fraud/theft of any industry, not just trucking.

    we cannot blame this on the sole soon to be demise of Swift.

    otherwise, we'd have to see "for sale" signs in all of Washington, DC

    What it shows that swift, had hardly any safe guards. Guessing they had no quarterly audit of expense cards. Now granted businesses do get taken advantage of, but most the time it's not by a single person using a company's expense card and doing over $880,000.... most the time it's a collusion of different individuals in different parts of the company that override and conceal the theft.

    Honestly comparing Washington DC corruption and fraud to a business is Apple and oranges and you can keep it.

    It says he and his wife used more than the $800k to pay off credit cards and student loans...that's some serious debt for a 20-something.

    Amazing isn't it. If a driver would have used
    20 more gallons of fuel than what the computer
    Said he needed they would of shut him down
    And accused him of selling fuel.

    Somebody charges a million and a half on a
    Company credit card and nobody bats an eye.

    just as much fraud, corruption in private business as there is in Washington.

    very easy to compare the 2.

    you may keep that too. don't deny the comparisons. it's all business when MONEY talks.

    I wonder where the IT Workers Supervisor was? He/She should be terminated for cause, they are part of the checks and balances that should be taking place. I worked for a Fortune 5 Company, supervised up to 15 people at times, part of my job was to review expense reports and had to certify the expenses were necessary. If I didn't look and the accounting department auditors found anything awry, I would have been terminated as well as the employee. This is just poor accounting practices.
