It was very shocking for the whole family, and yes she did it. She went wacko with the company credit card, buying expensive Christmas presents and taking friends out for dinner and drinks at swanky places. That one was a little more of a grey area. Her boyfriend had been borrowing her car during the day while she was at work, supposedly to look for a job, and was running drugs instead. She told me she knew he smoked pot but had no idea he was involved with dealing let alone using her car to run the drugs. I believed her...she was a pretty upfront person. Her car was seized and she was arrested but not convicted. If I remember correctly the charges were ultimately dropped against her. She never got her car back, though.
I work for a VERY large corporation who must have their I's dotted and their T's crossed before they even begin to think about investigating anyone. There is quite a process that they need to go through before they can even start talking with the person let alone fire them or have them arrested. So as much as I would love to believe that this person is innocent, the fact that the police were involved and is now terminated from the company tells me that they are not. It breaks my heart. This person has children and a spouse. I can't stop thinking about what they all must be going through.
...just to present another side.
Police were involved. Fired. Arrested(10 days after 2nd child was born). Charged with felony theft. Not a fun time. I'm sure people thought those things about me too. Except for the potential break-up of my family, that was the worst part...the people who just believed i was guilty.
I understand how you view it this way. Not trying to
Everything you just wrote could be said for my case too. VERY large company. (Nationwide) Fairly well known. Their rules had rules.
Were you cleared? How did the company screw up so badly?
I think he over-reacts! 
Especially to have that happen with a ten day old baby at home. That just makes me really sad. I'm so sorry that happened to you, and I'm glad charges were ultimately dropped. and would of never thought she would of done something like that,,, she was tried and convicted, served her time but they never found all the $$. Currently she seems to be living off the money, brand new mustang, hummer and a Harley, bought 2 cars for her 2 daughters and currently living in a penthouse in AC... I don't think they would be able to afford all this on their current job,,, filling up vending machines in the prison...She served less than a year!!
after the first one was discovered the others were caught because our department decided to initiate an internal fraud division. while i was angry about the people who did the actual fraud i was even angrier because it could have been entirely prevented if their supervisors had done their jobs (there were checks and balances that we were to do as supervisors, the sups in these cases just did'nt do their jobs)-and nothing was done to make those supervisors accountable 
i heard she tried to negotiate a plea in the hopes of not getting a conviction that would preclude her from practicing law, but it was no dice-she received several felony convictions and did a little over 2 years in state prison
