re: LSU notified as OLOL reveals $810K lost in foundation head's alleged embezzlement.

Can someone explain to me 1) boosters gave money to this “fund” but how is it known that the money taken was used for “gift cards, etc” and 2) what does a parent getting a job have to do with anything? I’m picturing an athletes mom who is a nurse or whatever who applied for a job. Does that mean no parent of an athlete can work at places that are tied LSU?

I truly don’t understand.
