Jarriette Richie worked as a legal secretary for Saul Ewing in Washington. She was charged last week in the District’s federal court with fraud for using a law firm’s corporate credit card to pay for a trip to Puerto Rico for her side business - Show N Tell Entertainment. Prosecutors said, Richie charged $46,848 on the card for fraudulent purchases for the trip. She also deposited counterfeit checks totalling $70,000 in her credit union account to make purchases.

Um. If you’re spending that kind of money as a business person, you are definitely expecting a high return on your investment. My dirty radar is telling me that something other than shaking “what yo’ mama gave ya” was going down on this trip to Puerto Rico. Maybe she could have been pretty successful as a P.erson I.nto M.arketing P.rostitutes. I’m just saying.
