Google News on Embezzlement

Tonight’s search, much like every night’s search, produced pages of news articles regarding employee embezzlements – just from today.

I have been reading news articles on employee embezzlements pretty much every night for the past few weeks using Google News – keyword “embezzlement.” Staggering to me is that every night the entire first page of search results is just articles that hit the press today.

As I read each article I see the same schemes over and over, and tonight’s results were no different. I also look at the period of the theft versus the period discovered and adjudicated.

The question that is hard to answer is this… is there more instances of theft and embezzlement today, or has it always existed at an alarming level but went undetected in the past.

Here are the search results from tonight’s Google News:

  1. What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that arrive from nowhere that Im fairly certain Id have a fair shot. Your blog is wonderful visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed together with your generic understanding of this subject.
