A Ukrainian couple stole $34million from a millionaire Democratic donor which they used to buy a private jet, a gold bullion and guns, according to authorities.[Snip] McCormack, an heir to a banking fortune, is the publisher of the progressive magazine The New Republic, owns Oregon’s Tin House book publishing company and is a prolific donor to the Democrat party. The couple, who were arrested on Tuesday, allegedly used their limousine service company to make unauthorized and inflated charges to the tycoon's American Express card, as reported by Oregon Live.

And, why not? Our government has taught the Ukrainians that Americans are for grifting and fleecing.

And he was too dumb to fire them and call the cops when he first found out? Some banker.

He spends millions supporting Dems that do the very same thing to taxpayers...and never notice the money is gone, do not even ask where it goes..
How can you NOT know your chauffeur has a private Jet, flash cars, jewelry, and two houses that rival your own?

I am having a real hard time thinking badly about these two since he is a Dem donor.

“Investigators have not located at least $20million of the stolen funds, they said in court.”
Obvious places to start, audit the payments made by the bank to McCormack’s American Express card, subpoena his accountant’s financial records.

A spokesperson for Mr. McCormack has issued a public statement on his behalf:
> "I can't give enough of my money to any Ukrainian cause. I stand with Ukraine!"

That's what Ukrainians are known for in Europe. But they took it from the right guy. Too bad they were caught they should have taken every last dime.

Some people just have too much money. He knew they were stealing from him and he kept them in his employ. He got what he deserved. My Give-A-Damn meter registers zero.

$34 million is quite a large amount to put on a credit card.

...."McCormack, an heir to a banking fortune,".....
He did not EARN the fortune, he did not CREATE the fortune.
Someone else did, and he just inherited it.
I guess he does not have an accountant working for him, or at least not a competent one.
Who does he think he is, anyway? Lurch? Mr. 'Net Zero' his own self, J. Effin' Kerry?
(Oh that's right.... Kerry did not 'inherit' the wealth, he married a rich widow, who in turn had earlier married a guy who inherited a huge fortune.)
In either situation, the person who created the fortune is gone, and a fool is now in control of it.

He must not check his monthly Amex statements. I would have noticed a private jet.

Stealing from a crook isn't a crime, it's payback!
