What the hell did he falsify? I'm thinking Liquor, cigarettes, baby formula... And how did they figure it out?
That's a good question I am thinking other people were involved. I remember once employee's somehow added points to their Kroger card where I worked. They were fired.
Is Kroger still strict? I remember when the security guy used to come in incognito. He would walk around like a customer and put items in a cart but never bought the items.
He just walked and walked looking a little goofy. Also there used to be an announcement security check section 21 something like that I forgot exactly what it said. But shoppers figured out it was a fake announcement.

Sounds like he worked behind the service desk. Sounds like he was making up phony returns and putting the money back on his credit card. 40 transactions was $980, 000 all in a 2 week time span. That would be the total sales for one week at a market place. One transaction was for $87,000. Surely that is a huge red flag for the store. That would be half the sales from one day in slow store.
They mentioned that money was returned to several outlets. Maybe several different stores or he was doing vendor returns?
Or, he was a cashier and was externally coached on how to do returns at the register. They have a new over ride protocol so over rides are easy to trace too.
I wonder how he did what he did.

He had inside help I do not understand what they mean by putting it on his credit card. Do they mean a bank debit card? And depositing that much in a bank don't just happen over night. I was gonna deposit my retirement from Kroger wand it was gonna take a few weeks. This is hard to understand how he did this. \\\\ If it was a prepaid usually those have a limit.
I'm no thief in anyway whatsoever, but if he had intentions of keeping the money, why not just close out his bank account once he had the amount he wanted, resign, and get another job elsewhere. It was his greed that aided in his capture.

$87,000 in one transaction? Someone in (store or corporate)accounting needs to be fired if they didn't see that happen. That is the sales for one day at a small store.
There is no way he would have gotten away with that in the long run.
They don't share specifics probably so Kroger can close the loop hole.
Yes I have this post is not fake news. You see a video from a TV Station so it's not fake. Only news on TV that is fake is if it's something bad about Trump.
Disregard my previous post of asking how they figured it out. I already figured it due to watching the video again. All transactions and refunds show up on his checker number. So therefore when they ran his number through their system, the booth clerks noticed an abnormal amount of refunds and found the money was not in the register tills. So they have suspicions. Then he shows up in a brand new car of this years model. Normally a duplicate reciept is kept by the store concerning refunds for accounting purposes. Confronted with their accusations and proof, he is forced to confess.
He worked at the fuel center for two weeks. It was another employee who turned him in according to our local news here. My question is-what background checks were done and how did the store manager not be aware of what was going on (to the tune of $ 1million dollars.) I think the store manager needs to be held accountable too and the person who initially hired this kid.

Naw Kroger stopped Store Managers from going in Accounting a few years ago. Only to open the safe then they have to get out. Used to they would stay in for a little bit I guess to check things.
But then they said the Store Manager could only go in to open the safe. I remember when I was working I used to go in and get trash everyday. They even stopped that. They had to pull the can out and I would empty it and knock they would get it back in.
