Catching Someone With Their Fingers In The Till

[SteCenturion]

Sorry to jump on your thread classic ....
But ...

I know of a large organisation somewhere in the U.K that currently & daily is involved in en mass misappropriation of public funds via manipulation or "cleaning" of data sets so that partnerships/stakeholders still get paid full contract fees or reimbursements even though they are not entitled to those monies.

For employees to be found to be submitting corrupt data sets would be considered 'Gross Misconduct' with dismissal highly likely, however management can & do instruct staff in certain key areas to "clean" see falsify/corrupt/fraudulently alter data.

All this came to light after management started to invite members of certain 'other' areas of staff into the office as there was/is low moral & little scope for progress. One of these people openly volunteered this info on his return, while another 'accidentally' volunteered & corroborated this info while in the act of defending it, *he is a desperate suck up who wants a HQ office job*.

In the past this organisation has gone to great lengths to cover up a wrong & a whistle blower went mad, marching around with a placard on his back & shouting out etc.
It would be easy to imagine the same happening again & I could foresee IT sweeping all systems & a mass closing of ranks from all involved.

However, I happen to know that a few people have documented events & evidence that they are holding onto for a rainy day.

Years ago a company I worked for were installing in a carpet factory / warehouse. Security noticed that not only were they carrying plastic pipes (8'' + diameter) into the place, they were also carrying some out.
After stopping them at the factory gates they found carpets stuffed inside the pipes.

Again, probably apocryphal, but I read somewhere about a bloke who emerged from his factory every day for years with a wheelbarrow with something covered up by a bit of sacking. Every day the security guards would check under the sacking, find nothing incriminating, and wave him through. Years later he bumped into one of the security guys in a bar, who said they were still convinced he'd been nicking stuff. Turned out he had. Wheelbarrows.

There was a similar story in an early Only Fools And Horses episode. Granddad was the security guard and the bloke was nicking briefcases.

Lots of thieving at the Nissan plant in Sunderland, including fully built cars.

One of which I am aware is car paint - worth quite a bit by the litre.

Dishonest workers smuggle it out in their Thermos flasks.

Good idea. Always worth setting up a Dead Man Switch (or even better, multiple ones) if you're holding some dirt on some very bad boys.

Entire hard drive on the works computer, copied! Paper records = pictures. Later learnt two sets were being used.

Of course, if you were a less honest person you could profit from this yourself by keeping quiet for a price.

You mean let the taxman know?

Second set of paperwork is where "my signature" was used.

Our department employed Coal Samplers at a Power Station, their job was to take samples of coal from each lorry that entered so the quality could be monitored, the output efficiency of the Power Station dropped, the coal samplers were accepting cash payments along with a bag of good grade coal while the lorry was full of low grade stuff, they got caught, quite a lot of cash was found at their homes, I think jail sentence's were also handed out.

The first payments were allegedly fresh fish (to get them hooked) it became known as "It started with a fish" scam, usualy pronounced in a Hot Choclatesque way.
