Fraud at school

An administrative assistant who worked for the Director of the building I work in has been jailed for fraud. She used NSF grant money to buy personal items to the tune of $316,000. The news of the fraud which was discovered a couple of months back shocked us. It was hard to associate the stout matronly woman who greeted us with a sweet smile every time she saw us with a crime that daring. She actually made these personal transactions with the grant money from the computer in her office under the very nose of her employer and printed out false receipts to account for them.
