Theory 2: (This works with Ski's conspiracy theory, too) The owners/upper management are involved, most likely to support some pressing financial need. This is just horrible from both a money recovery standpoint (can't get blood from a stone) and a PR standpoint (it is easier to forgive a company for a rogue employee and it is easier to implement safeguards to stop it from happening again).

If AP is behind the scam and wouldn't they be able to pull it off more believable than this? At least letting someone with half a brain play instead of an actual monkey...

One would think the CEO of a multi billion dollar conglomerate wouldn't buy his dog a 20k umbrella or his wife a 3M birthday party directly with company funds, but I am pretty sure the Tyco CEO Kozlowski did both of those things.

Closer to (my) home, the guy who founded Phar-More (a pretty big pharmacy chain) illegally funneled a lot of money to a basketball team or league he owned to try to keep it afloat.

So, you can't really draw any conclusions from the pedestrian tactics IMO.
