Short Story: The wrong man got sacked for this Corporate crime in this major bank

Tweet

There were two workers, a man and a woman, who worked for a large bank. The woman was criminally minded, and during her working hours, she siphoned off some of the bank's funds, into an overseas bank account, that she herself held there. The man, working in the same section as her, got wind of this, as he realised that something suspicious was going on, even as he tried repeatedly to balance the accounts, there was always some type of small discrepancy present, and unaccounted for, each month. The lady got wind too that, this man, John, had detected her fraud, and so she set up different aspects of her fraudulent activity to involve him too, or to only involve him, as the sole instigator of it. She changed the account name in the overseas country to his name, and then she dropped hints to the higher up managers, as to how he was defrauding the bank. John was sacked after a short investigation, as the Manager mainly took the evidence provided by this lady as gospel truth. Soon, after this, the lady simply changed the account name back to her own name again, and so she continued to indulge in her previous malevolence again, bring extra careful, also, to take on John's position's duties of balancing the books, each month. She had told the manager, "better leave it all to me. We cannot trust anyone else to become involved. I will not make any mistakes, like John did." Who was to blame here mostly then, the manager, this lady, or John? Obviously the lady, but the manager also was party to this, not getting the situation externally examined by an outsider, not involved in that area, and John, went without making too much of a noise too, when he should have protested, and raised the stakes higher, by claiming a wrongful dismissal, and so having the matter investigated further.

We all need to stand up to criminals like this, even if it does cost us our jobs, or worse. Otherwise, we are all being affected, by the criminal's bite.
