You’ve probably heard people at work make statements about co-workers like this: “Sam/Sally knows that inside out.” Here’s a case where that turned out to be a bad thing.
Suraj Samaroo recently pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $400,000 from an IKEA call center in Baltimore, MD.
Samaroo learned all he needed to know to skim the money in less than six months.
Prosecutors say he would issue himself refunds for purchases made by customers and then alter inventory records to cover his tracks.
At least he was generous with the money: He gave some of it to friends and family.
Samaroo faces a maximum of 15 years in prison. He’s admitted his actions were motivated by “pure greed.”
