Man steals $1.2 million in Fajitas over 9 years

I couldn't make heads or tails of your summary until I read the article. I interpreted it as he stole 800 pounds of meat and has been selling it slowly over 9 years. My first response was "who would buy such old meat"

Carry on.
 
this guys supervisor/manager had to be in on it and should also be fired, how do you not notice that expense???? Zero chance someone in management was not in on this.
 
Does anyone else think the article was terribly written? Seems like they went too far with the puns and play on words that it because hard to follow/understand.

TL;DR:
  • Dude worked at Juvenile Justice Department in Texas
  • Took a sick day and missed an 800-pound fajita meat shipment
  • Which would normally be fine, except they don't serve fajitas
  • Turns out he's been re-selling it over the course of 9 years, to the tune of $1,251,578

The $1,251,578 I believe is what it cost the state. The worker could have sold it for more, netting him a higher profit than $1.25M.

Premium dry-aged fajita meat 😀

Edited OP for clarity 😉
 
"Hey, Nancy. Did you cut that check yet to Labatt Food Service? Who's been ordering all this meat?"

"Looks like the purchase orders are being made by the head dishwasher."

"OK, make sure that check goes out today."

That and the photograph they chose is definitely not fajitas, nor beef. Lazy and amateurish.

Looks like chicken to me. And just how did they not catch him earlier? Surely someone had to be noticing all that money being spent and a pile of meat going missing and not accounted for.
 
Everybody can assume that everything is on the up and up and somebody else must be keeping track of everything.

I was intrigued by the title.


"Man Pulls Off $1.25 Million Fajita Heist." If he did he wouldn't have been caught. All great crimes go unnoticed.

Maybe so, but shouldn't the bean counter(s) at the jail discover $133,333 a year missing from just auditing the books alone? Or to think of it, meat that just came in "disappearing" quickly shortly after the jail received it?

Some heads need to roll at that jail.

The auditing... maybe, maybe not. How do you see something unusual if it looks like it belongs? You think some bean counter in the Texas accounting office is going to know what is or isn't on the menu at their juvenile justice centers ? It's not like someone is ordering 5 million plastic forks every week.

Just as big of a question is how did this guy manage to walk 800 lb shipments of meat off of the site in the middle of his shift without anyone ever noticing?
