who has, who would and who wouldn't.....
good idea for a thread.
i can just imagine how many directors will come forward and say, "yeah, i'm currently engaged in corporate crime, it's awesome"
Marketing Dept gave me 200 company banded pens (decent quality roller balls) when we changed our logo; they were going to bin them all. So I won't be pinching pens from work for the next 200 years....
Maybe OP means the kind that new improved Daz can tackle?
like fiddling expenses or something?
nah, never
I once worked for a major bank. It was common knowledge that the money lost in credit card fraud was miniscule compared with what was being lost through internal scams by employees.
These, when uncovered, would be hushed up. The guilty employee would then be paid off to keep quiet and given a glowing reference. The prospect of what this knowledge of vast internal fraud would do to consumer confidence and share prices ensured this
I'd imagine most corporate fraud cases end the same way
I sometimes have to work from home now and then and a few weeks ago I took a black bic pen home for note taking etc when I had to work from home the next day.
I'm now back at the office, but i've left the pen at home.
My wife has been using it for non-work relating note taking, such as shopping lists etc.
I think I'll probably sneak it back into the office tomorrow before anyone notices it's not in the stationary cupboard.
binners-- you have it-- the glowing refs, onwards and upwards they move, till they are in charge?
an anecdote,-- a site agent was caught red handed selling brand new aluminium for scrap-- he went--- found out later with good refs to a 'rival' with more responsibility- this must be commonplace
who has committed the worst 'crime' -- the individual for theft, or the company for moving him on and up?
How about being responsible for closing NHS facilities while at the same time operating private companies providing the same services and benefiting from the closures?
is that white collar crime or treason?
Bit like Binners tale
I once worked for a software company that specialised in PoS systems
One large - essentially cash - business signed up for the new system on the strength of it drastically cutting staff pilfering.
Within a couple of months they requested that a lot of the checks etc. were taken out or cut back a bit because they were catching too many thieves and they couldn't handle the staff turnover.
Oh yeah, I'm up to it big time - using company credit cards for personal stuff, taking stuff from work, using work materials for my own purposes, skiving off work whenever I feel like it, playing games on work computers, the lot.
It's nice being self-employed 🙂
Nope never, wouldn’t even consider it.. But you'd expect that from me.
I wonder how that chap is doing in that current case with UBS, the 1.Xbn loss on trading cover up. Last week he was in court.. no idea how it's been going since...
The only recollection I have for a fraud case at work was years ago, again working for a Bank. A HR Head was claiming travelling and hotel expenses for over two years, turned out not long after securing the job she moved to the local town where she worked and was still claiming expenses but now living at home, took 3 years to sort out and the Bank paid out for 5 years in total until sorted. She stayed in her job.
In another case a lad was claiming for fuel when filling up not only his Company Car but also his family car and wifes sisters car all on expenses.. sacked on the spot.
Same Bank BTW.
I'm currently defrauding my company by being on here instead of working
I have a big collection of white collars, all of them stolen.

Are you sure she didn't have the suffix "M.P.", and the prefix "Right Honourable"?
I have a nice stapler from my last job... We were all made redundant and they said they wanted the office empty so...
Got some pretty nice ring binders and a telephone pad...
