The part of this story that I want more detail on is how the bookkeeper manager to hide an 8ball a day cocaine habit from her husband.

I doubt she really did. But on the other hand, I’ve known addicts who you’d swear were clean, because they were so good at hiding it.

Id be interested in knowing where the bookkeeper is now, 4 months after getting caught.

Presumably, she has fled the country to a place with no extradition treaty. Or maybe she found another bookkeeping job to embezzle from locally.

I don’t understand why it would take this long to get a warrant for an arrest if it’s clear that the bookkeeper was paying cheques to herself and not paying bills.

Yeah, I really want to know how this all turns out.

Addiction is a terrible disease and makes people do things they would never do ordinarily. I have a family member who ended up in prison for a while because of it.
