You are a legitimate idiot if you think federal prison is a walk in the park. Thus, everything else you have said in this thread means nothing... in my opinion.

Whoa. I was wondering how anyone could embezzle that much money in such a short period of time and it go largely unnoticed. But if he was dishing out fake or inflated payments to vendors and money was diverted back to him, yikes.
I am a bit baffled as to how this was possible in the first place. I work for a hospital foundation, and the hospital's finance department has direct oversight to our expenditures. In addition, any vendor/consulting payment would have to be directly approved by the hospital as they are the ones who foot our overhead costs.
Even if they aren't set up like that, I am still confused as to how one person has this much unilateral control over an organization's funds...especially one that has so much income.

UPDATE: EBRSO opens investigation
quote:
He declines to elaborate on how the alleged forgery and embezzlement was carried out, but says “multiple patterns of fraudulent activity” have been uncovered and are being investigated, both by third-party auditors at the hospital and by the EBRSO’s property crimes division. He confirms the amount allegedly stolen from the foundation is around $500,000 and says there is no evidence to suggest anyone else at OLOL or the OLOL Foundation was involved.

Apparently you are wrong.
But why would I pray that some upper class white guys I don't know get caught being crooks?

The brick and mortar hospital is the easy part.
The hiring of the doctors and surgeons is what will make it viable so the kids that need surgeries don't have to go to New Orleans or out of state, which most of them do now which isn't cheap.
Even the more complex cases will necessitate the children going out of state.

For the OT lawyers out there....
Why is the EBRSO and local DA in charge of this investigation? Seems to me the Feds would be involved to some degree.
I understand that some, or all, of the alleged crime(s) took place in EBR but seems like this would be a case for the pros (FBI, IRS, US Attorney, etc.).
Is there some type of "threshold" wherein the Feds pick it up and not the local guys?

Not only that, but is hard for me to imagine any sort of scandal in BR which would shake me to my core as hinted at in the post.

Good question. I don't know for sure. I think since it is a local nonprofit the initial investigation is done by the sheriff, and depending on where the money came from and/or where it went, then state/federal authorities come in after that.
FBI would make the most sense, and unless there was some kind of tax evasion, I don't think this is an IRS matter. Again, I don't know for sure, just spitballing.

They don't tell the public everything while there is an open investigation and this thing is still open.

Again, I don't exactly know how this foundation is set up, but the one I work for, I am a hospital employee, but the foundation is a separate organization, but still under the overhead funding and oversight of the hospital.
If they are set up that way, then this won't affect foundation employees' salaries. And if they are set up like we are, their finance department is terrible at its job.

ETA: Can't wait until they get their Children's Hospital built. Not only will it provide great care for some really sick children with plans to expand the children's healthcare network into the rest of the Our Lady system, but it should be an economic boon for the BR area. I think they're planning to open the doors within a year.
I have to wonder what their plan is to staff said hospital because they can't even staff what they have.

Local authorities investigate to see if a state law was broken.
They can ask the Feds for help, but that's it. If they see that state law was broken they'll let the DA know.
Now if local authorities see that federal laws were broken then they can make the federal attorney aware of it.
