This Embezzler Filled With Remorse

Gosh, how many times do we have to hear that line from these embezzlers? “Filled with remorse.” It’s such a load of horse puckey. If you’re going to make a bald-faced theft of 350,000 bucks from your neighbors, the only remorse you’re going to feel is that you didn’t steal enough.

Jill Rouse Boothby of Boothby Realty was a property manager for nearly a dozen Birmingham, Alabama condo associations. Plea agreements like hers are only made if she can plead guilty to a small fraction of the crimes she’s accused of. Halloween is over so we can’t really call her a witch. She’s worse. And with all the people she’s hurt, with all the elderly people who’ve been swindled out of their life savings, she deserves worse punishment than she’ll ever be given.

Embezzlers are monsters. A fine? A few weeks in jail? Restitution? That’ll never be paid. In days-of-old the phrase, “drawn and quartered,” might be used. For those who don’t know, that punishment involves four horses and four ropes. Even that is too good for an embezzler.
