"A crooked senior finance director at a low-income California school district who embezzled millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle — splurging on high-end tequila and fancy cars — has been sentenced to 70 months in federal prison."

He supposedly had checks made out to M (bunch of spaces) S (bunch of spaces) D (bunch of spaces) and everybody thought they were for the Magnolia School District.
But he was allegedly taking the checks and doctoring them to a phony name before cashing them.
The feds say he bought a house, a BMW, bunch of Louis Vuitton bags and $1,700 a bottle tequila.
Don't know how he's supposed to pay restitution.

Meanwhile the tax dollars are no longer there for the children that will now do without as they always have in life. I guess crime does pay...

They were a customer a few years back. Pretty rough part of town and definitely on the lower economic end as far as Orange County, CA goes although not even in the running compared to parts of Oklahoma. They get a LOT of freebies considering half the student population are children of illegal aliens it’s just one of the many reasons we moved.
Newsome will appoint him to State School Board.
