A man I trusted has stolen thousands of dollars from a non-profit he runs and I do the books for.... I asked him about it, and offered him the chance to rectify it if anything were to have been... misplaced.... He denied it. He doesn't know I can trace wire transfers. He is an MBA and thinks he is smarter than me; he is not. The dumb ass put it into his business' account, albeit indirectly. So, aside from the obvious, did he think he would get away with it, did he think I'd never catch him, or did he just not care? Book keepers brought down Al Capone but he's immune? No....
I am beginning to hate charismatic leaders. I am. My red flags start going up when they try to tell me to take a lesser role in things, or to "just record things" and not get involved in policy. a.) If anything goes wrong with the money, who do you think they're coming after first.... That'd be me as treasurer, so I have every right to a say in how shit goes, b.) All the work I do keeping track of this isn't so some fucker with a title can blow it, c.) I am a vengeful, pissed off, lonely, sad, and slowly growing ever more hateful person... You can't charm your way past me. I have lost the ability to be bullshitted .... I will smile and be cordial to his face and hate every single shred of him.
I hate him so much.... I will compile a large amount of evidence neatly cataloged, itemized, and summarized. It will be several pages and I suspect will take me about 13 hours to compile. I will turn it over to the police, the Ohio Bureau of Investigation, and the Ohio Attorney General who sues on behalf of charitable trusts. I'm good at that I suppose. Usually, the better to defend against it.... O, I'm far from "good," but I have rules, and certain standards, and certainly avoid things that come back on me.... That's right this moron's stupidity could potentially have come back on yours truly had I not caught it.
I have so much spite to give and now I have someone to give it to directly.... I'll be mailing him boxes of cat shit with just enough air freshener to avoid gagging the mail man, but not enough to spare him....
Yet, the negative publicity of this type can totally screw up a charity's image. Once a charity is seen as corrupt, it will do massive damage to the very cause that charity was set up to advance. Perhaps it's possible to do this quietly with him resigning, with or without a consent judgment from the Attorney General.... I suppose I'll have to see. His absence will hurt this organization, so would the place rather be a widow or a divorcee? This is yet more fucking work I am not getting paid for. Why is it everywhere I go I find nothing but assholes. Granted I'm not at all person of the year by a fucking long shot, but I don't steal from charities. Hell I could probably even get away with doing so, but fuck that. I do a lot of very wrong shit, but that's not on the list.
Et tu Brute'?
I just ... fucking.... Do not need this shit right now. Do not. Nopes. Trying to make so much stuff come together and just really?
Edit: BAAALLLLS! [sigh] One day I will learn to stop asking questions I may regret knowing the answers to. Let's see if the money is being taken care of properl.... Shit. [head desk]
