The discussion centers around the prevalence of female embezzlers in small businesses and municipalities, with a focus on a recent case involving a temporary hire who forged signatures to steal over $15,000 from a manager's company. Participants express concern over the ease with which women in trusted financial roles can commit such crimes, suggesting that societal perceptions may lead to less suspicion of women, thus providing them with more opportunities for theft. The conversation also touches on the disparity in sentencing for embezzlement, where women often receive lighter penalties compared to male criminals. There's a debate about whether these crimes are a result of gender differences in communication or simply a matter of opportunity. Some participants argue that the media's focus on female perpetrators may skew public perception, while others highlight the broader issue of financial fraud and the challenges of restitution for victims. Overall, the thread reveals a complex interplay of gender, opportunity, and societal attitudes towards crime.

I used to make technical service calls at a linerboard mill in Uncasville, right across the river from you. They had to recycle all their waste-water because they had no discharge permit. Very odd situation.Chi Meson said:
When I heard that a big casino was in the works, all I could think of was that there would be some BIG winners (property-owners, developers, suppliers) and lots of losers due to that facility. I guess we know where your town clerk fell in those categories. Gambling debts are more heavily implicated in embezzlement cases, now that we have Hollywood Slots in Bangor. There is a full table-gaming casino under development in Oxford county, too, which will only add fuel to the fire.

Woman bites man's dog, now that's news.
But all seriousness aside. The frequency of news reports says absolutely nothing about the real frequency of an event.
Train wrecks, earthquakes or other disasters occur in waves of reporting spates.

What's even worse is the number of people who are committing mortgage and medicare fraud, law enforcement knows who they are, but nothing is being done about it because the resources to manage such crimes is limited.
