Also any misapropriated funds can be recovered and assets can be taken to repay the depts. The fashion here seems to be you get caught then fired and go away to live a nice life in Miami.

Try and pay a policeman to wave a drink driving or speeding fine in the UK and see what happens........try not do this on the last day of your holiday as you will need plenty of time to find a good lawyer.
