The firm has always been one to quickly jump to incorrect conclusions and this time got caught. I agrree with MissouriDemocrat and think they should cough the $380,000 up. Somerset made a really stupid decision with this guy's background to even allow him near any kind of funds, let alone let this guy be treasurer. Maybe the reason Early "blew off" the DUI charge of this guy was because maybe it is common practice in their firm??WaytooSmarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001955871180450938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-78849570926025693972009-01-15T09:14:00.000-05:002009-01-15T09:14:00.000-05:00Gary, maybe he could also be a nominee for U.S. Treasury Secretary. Why not? Sounds like he would fit right in.M Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892309818226431745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-82518090341455881032009-01-14T13:11:00.000-05:002009-01-14T13:11:00.000-05:00When I read the article, I was appalled that a guy with this background and these kinds of problems would be hired and retained as an employee of a leading accounting firm like Somerset.<BR/>When I read Pat Early's response, I was infuriated by his lackadaisical response. No, Mr. Early, the majority of youths coming into the workplace from college do not have drunk driving arrests attached to their sheepskins. In his comments he reveals much of why Somerset is faced with this problem when he dismisses their failure in employing this criminal as simply being "too trusting".Cathy Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925121124892747565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-55711051486376680382009-01-14T06:05:00.000-05:002009-01-14T06:05:00.000-05:00You wonder what's up with IMPD? Well, just read the story above this one. That's at least one reason why, some of them are awfully "busy".<BR/><BR/>I agree with MissouriDemocrat that Somerset should be on the hook for repaying the money to Penrod. No matter what kind of "personality" he was at the office, they put him in charge of the money at Penrod.varangianguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571595354792261993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-86373760406447960952009-01-13T21:56:00.000-05:002009-01-13T21:56:00.000-05:00There are lots of hanging threads in this story.<BR/><BR/>Was Benker a MEMBER of Penrod, which is a 501(c)3 organization?<BR/><BR/>Or -- Did Penrod contract with Somerset to handle their funds? <BR/><BR/>Or -- Did Somerset provide this service pro bono as a charitable contribution?<BR/><BR/>If Benker/Zoeller were not elected officers and/or board members of the 501(c)3, who on the Penrod board was in charge of overseeing their work?<BR/><BR/>Much has not been revealed here.<BR/><BR/>As Missouri Democrat said, seems like there's a liability here on the part of Somerset for abdicating their fiduciary responsibility.Hoosier in the Heartlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049824713120857184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-32469310552346159952009-01-13T21:31:00.000-05:002009-01-13T21:31:00.000-05:00I read the IBJ article and was amazed that any responsible accounting firm would not have completed a full investigation of their new employees and learned of these past incidents. Then i found it even more amazing that the firm would allow that criminal to serve one of its charitable causes as a treasurer holding checkbook authority. That accounting firm should be forced to pay the 380,000 out of their funds back to Penrod.MissouriDemocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601903002852569236noreply@blogger.com
