Class,

Our last topic for this week will be current events. Find a news article (NOT a journal article) about a fraud that has been committed. Give us a brief summary letting us know the facts (like what type of fraud it was, how long it went on before the fraudster was caught and how much money was taken, etc.). Also, what do you think allowed the fraud to occur and what could have been done to prevent it? (You can make assumptions here since the article probably wont have all the facts.)
