Who says crime, er … higher education doesn't pay?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10669329/Yale-School-Medicine-employee-stole-40-million-computers-electronics-school.html

" A former Yale University School of Medicine administrator has admitted to stealing $40 million worth of computers and electronic equipment from the institution, which she then sold to fund her lavish lifestyle, using the proceeds to buy multiple homes, a fleet of luxury cars, and pay for international vacations. "

" Jamie Petrone-Codrington, 42, from Lithia Springs, Georgia, on Monday pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud and tax charges related to her years-long scheme. "

" She could face up to 23 years in prison when she is sentenced for her crimes on June 29, the US Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut said in a statement. "

"According to court documents and statements, beginning in 2008, Petrone-Codrington worked at the Yale University School of Medicine's Department of Emergency Medicine. She most recently served as the director of finance and administration."

I am surprised at her energy and ingenuity at using computer equipment to generate her wealth.

Bridgeport? Darien is where the money is.

Quote:

Darien is the nation's wealthiest community, with a median household income of $208,125, and a median home value of $1,248,200. Another Connecticut town, Westport, also made the report's top 10 at #9 ($166,307 and $1,087,700), but no other Connecticut communities made the list.

"A coastal town about 50 miles away from New York City, Darien has the lowest population and the highest median household income on the list," writes Consumers Advocate's Colin Grubb. "Private beaches, yacht clubs, mansions, and more are features of this fabulously wealthy suburb."

I'm sure he was shocked to find out the $40 million didn't come from their business.

With an average 5 million dollars and 500 transactions per year, I would say none.

Yale's finance department is more Bush League than Ivy League.

That's some Rita Crundwell level embezzlement.

Reminds me of a local guy who got caught ordering gift baskets, appliances, and furniture from Office Depot on his company card. He would sell the gift baskets in his wife's store in town and then started selling the other stuff or making a kick ass backyard. Finally got caught because he started meeting the UPS guy in the parking lot so he could put the stuff right into his car.

It was the med school.
Take that, err, white Doctors!

Look at me, I went to an Ivy League med school because I had good grades and did well on the MCAT. Makes me sick.

It says she was the director, she probably approved the budgets, she was the control.

How do you not miss 500 Computers and pieces of Electronics Equipment ? ? ? Every year for 8 years ? ?

How did no one see this woman carrying things of value out to her car every day ? ? Probably 2-3 times a day ? ?

No one questioned when the budget increased over $5 mil?

Any auditing system in place?

I normally ignore your posts, but what is your point? That white doctors who attend Yale are not Libs? BS.

It's an interesting story and one that should cause Yale to evaluate all internal fiscal controls on every department.

She was authorized to order and approve purchases up to $10k without next level approval.

She would have the equipment sent to an offsite, out-of-state store that would sell it and send the funds to an account.

Crundwell type of fraud. Yale should be seriously embarrassed by this.

Depends on the budget. If it's a several hundred million budget, 5 mill wouldn't be noticed or questioned. Especially if it was within the equipment line item. Got to buy the equipment if it's in the budget.

I would imagine that she's in some way relieved. Could you imagine stealing any amount of money, let alone $40mil? Just knowing they gonna get your ass eventually. It's like Maddof...he had to know it would eventually come tumbling down.

In the article she appears white in her wedding photos, her vacation and bragging photos se appears black. Is this some sort of reverse Michael Jackson thing?
Also, she may have stolen $40MM but I'd bet she only netted around $10MM not that it isn't a lot of money, but I doubt her or her husband have anywhere near the means to return the $30+MM difference. Hopefully they can get some of it from her partner.

Nearly all of Yale medical school employees and administrators are leftists. Probably 90+% of med students and recent grads are too.

It's possible, hear me out, that the white students at the premier med schools are there because they had the top test scores and grades - not because they're libs.

I tend to gloss over your contributions too unless they lend themselves to levity. Where exactly in the med school rankings do the future Doctors become acceptable to you? Somewhere around mediocre to having to attend a school in the Caribbean? Does the animosity extend to residencies?

I don't think you would even gain admission to Yale med school unless you are a leftist or a really talented liar (assuming there is a distinction between the two)
