CITY GOVERNMENT WORKER ACCUSED OF $6 MILLION PRINTER INK FRAUD

A Las Vegas, Nevada, woman is accused of stealing printer ink worth $6,715,531 from her employer and selling it to a reseller on the other side of the country. Jennifer McCain-Bray worked as a purchasing analyst for the Las Vegas Valley Water District – a public utility. Investigators say she ordered millions of dollars of extra printer ink and toner – approximately $6.7 million worth, purchased with public funds – had it delivered to her office, and then shipped it off to a New Jersey company for resale. The New Jersey company transferred money to McCain’s personal PayPal account. The scam ran for 8 years, between 2007 and 2015.
* Six million dollars worth of printer ink is, what, about 10 cartridges?
* Six million dollars worth of ink and toner. Another copycat crime.
* Nice of the auditors to figure this out after a mere 8 years.
* What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas – unless it gets shipped to New Jersey.
* Let this be a lesson to folks. Never use your own personal PayPal account when you’re running a scam.
* No surprise at the amounts here. I read somewhere that by volume, printer cartridge ink is more expensive than the finest champagne.
* Correction: She wasn’t working for the Las Vegas Valley Water District. She was working for herself.
* How stupid. She was stealing printer ink, so she had to know there’d be a paper trail.
* Sure, it was a crime, but I bet her lifestyle the last 8 years has been pretty darn spectacular.

A cabbie picks up a nun.

posted March 2

After a few minutes, the cabbie says, “Sister, I have a question, but I don´t want to offend you.” The nun says, “I´ve heard just about everything. I promise you, nothing you say will offend me.” Cabbie says, “Alright… I´ve always had a fantasy to be kissed by a nun.” She says “Well… are you single?” He says, “Yes.” She says, “Are you Catholic?” He says, “Absolutely!” Nun says, “Pull into that alley.” He does, and she give him a kiss so passionate it could melt stained glass. As they drive away, the cabbie starts crying. The nun says, “My dear child, why are you crying?” He says “Forgive me, Sister… I´ve sinned. I lied. I´m married … and I´m Jewish.” The nun says “That´s okay. My name´s Dave and I´m on my way to a Halloween party.”
