From the USAO press release[0]:
> As she had done at Facebook, Furlow-Smiles circumvented the vendor process at Nike to commit fraud. She linked her Nike corporate card to her PayPal and Venmo accounts. She then paid her associates with PayPal and Venmo, causing fraudulent charges to her Nike card. The associates kicked back portions of the payments to Furlow-Smiles, who submitted fraudulent expense reports to Nike to cover her tracks. The expense reports falsely claimed that the payments were related to the Juneteenth event.
Imagine presenting yourself as a champion of DEI, cloaked in righteousness, while secretly defrauding your company with boundless greed.

- philwelch 2y ago> Imagine presenting yourself as a champion of DEI, cloaked in righteousness, while secretly defrauding your company with boundless greed. It’s pretty easy to rationalize. These companies are owned and run by rich white billionaires, so you could easily argue that it’s perfectly fair and equitable for a person of color to take whatever they can get from these companies. Call it reparations.
