In this episode, Toby Mathis, Esq., of Anderson Business Advisors, welcomes David Pelligrinelli, a professional asset recovery expert from ActiveIntel. They dive deep into the alarming reality of employee theft and embezzlement in businesses of all sizes. David explains the "fraud triangle" concept—opportunity, pressure, and justification—that enables employee theft, sharing real-world examples of trusted employees who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from their employers. They discuss essential prevention strategies like having owners open all financial mail, requiring employees to take vacations so others can review their work, and implementing proper checks and balances. The conversation reveals sophisticated theft techniques, including ghost vendor schemes and credit card fraud, while emphasizing that even trusted employees can succumb to temptation when proper controls aren't in place. David also shares fascinating stories about asset recovery investigations and explains how counter-investigation tactics can help those being investigated unfairly.
