A dodgy bastard working at the NGV had a racket going where they'd order smartphones at the gallery's expense, then sell them privately and pocket the cash - they did it for years and made $8m!! What the absolute fuck?
1. How did the NGV not notice $8m pissing out (wow our staff really need a lot of smartphones, whatever, this is normal).
2. This person has no shame. How did they think nobody would notice? What did they even do with the $8m? Why didn't they stop at like, $4m or even $2m, consider that a pretty sweet scam and ride off into the sunset never to be heard or seen again??

@decryption@aus.social maybe I’m stupid and naive, but I just don’t understand how this could go on for even a second, with basic accounting practices.

@decryption@aus.social ...but we can't find Good People ...and also "hmm Dr Adam you lack Merit™️ so nope". All this hits far harder in the ultra-qualified/experience precariat.
