If a couple of people get 18yrs for stealing $600,000 worth of gold from the govt then this punishment should be worth .....

There was that case in the USA ( saw it on pay tv about 5 years ago - so i might not have all the details correct ) but i reckon it takes the cake
There were 2 sisters - running some small non descript hardware store in a country town . And i think because of 9/11 or something - the govt decided to fast track ( payment ) of any hardware purchases they made
Anyhow 1 of the sisters on an invoice for under $100 - accidently on the freight charge - typed in $500 instead of $5 - govt paid the $500 freight - so she thought hello - i will try it again - paid in full again
Thus both of them on their govt invoices- just kept bumping up the freight charge - all paid in full
At one point they were raising an invoice for say $90 of Nuts and Bolts - Freight charge $177000 - paid in full- unbelievable amounts
They got away with it for several years - had all the trimmings - luxury houses - boats - overseas holidays for the relatives - the lot
As a taxpayer I would own aprox 0.000001% $-)

yes and no..it is complicated. But basically every dollar has to be accounted for and they get audited for variations annually. So the books are made to balance and the funds are made to be spent against an approved activity.
