The paycheck might goto restitution.
- gumby 8y agoThat's an interesting point, raising a couple of interesting issues! No lives were lost (apart from the thief's) but the company is out a plane and the taxpayers are out some fuel. I know embezzlers are often required to make restitution, but I've always assumed that this was for rehabilitative purposes. Presumably companies have insurance (maybe embezzlement restitution goes to the insurance company?) and the taxpayer, well, that's what we're paying for. A second interesting question is the innocent family members who presumably have depended on the income from the thief. Clearly the last (partial?) paycheck won't be material either way, but who would be "punished" and whom "provided restitution" in this case?
