embezzlement suit
Friday, April 25, 2008
From kccommunitynews.com:
"A former Ferrellgas fleet manager accused of embezzling more than $3 million from the company apparently had help from outside sources.
In an amended court petition filed April 7, the company named employees from three other vendors who allegedly cooperated with Scott Beeson in creating false invoices for services they did not actually perform for Ferrellgas.
According to court documents, the results of an internal audit revealed Beeson 'instructed and directed the vendors and representatives of the vendors on how and when to submit invoices to Ferrellgas. He further instructed them on where to send or wire money received from Ferrellgas. The vendors complied with Beeson’s instructions.'
The audit revealed funds for the fraudulent services were re-routed from the company’s accounts payable department to Beeson’s personal bank account."
