285.0. "DIGITAL BEING RIPPED OFF" by ECADSR::LAW () Sat Mar 21 1987 01:03

    I saw in the newspaper that the a digital employee in the mill 
    stole 229,000 from company employee funds.  This past week in the
    post a secretary stole $40,000 from the hudson plant.  I guess when
    we are doing well everyone is trying to get rich quick.

    not just now. Based on what I read in the paper, some of these events
    were a while ago. What seems new is a more aggressive will to prosecute.

    The article about the woman stealing $229,000 was in the Globe and
    the South Middlesex News on a Thursday about three weeks ago.
    
    The woman was the cost center manager for Employee Activities. 
    They did not give the details in the paper.  
    
    I know of the woman and the story is somewhat sad.  She seemed to
    be very nice...it looked like a snowball type situation...she started
    small and before she was aware the situation was out of control.
    Right before her indiscretion was discovered she lost a son in an
    automobile accident.  The newspaper indicated that her sentence
    was being postponed so that she could be with a son who was being
    operated on for cancer.
    
    The Globe reported that her sentence consisted of repayment of the
    monies she had borrowed plus $6000 court costs, 60 days imprisonment,
    and 200 hours public service.
    
    Digital was right to prosecute, the sentence was fair but the situation
    is sad.

    There was an article in both the Marlboro Enterprise, and Middlesex
    News last week.... they both stated it had to do with Expense accounts.

    (from The Boston Herald, Thursday, March 19, 1987, Page 2)
    
    "A former secretary at Digital Equipment Corp.'s Hudson facility
    has been indicted for allegedly stealing about $40,000 from the
    computer manufacturer's expense accounts.
    
    Jamie Lianides allegedly stole the money by signing other Digital
    employees' names to expense vouchers and cash advance requests,
    Assistant Middlesex District Attorney Kevin Ryan said.    
    
    A Middlesex County grand jury indicted Lianides on two counts of
    a larcenous scheme and a single count of fraudulent appropriation
    of corporate funds in connection with the thefts."
