where has all the money gone? long time passing...

The question was so good, somehow it was missed. Of course these Rip Tide revenues need to be correlated with revenues reported for that time frame! Bank statements, deposit slips, and quarterly reports should do that nicely, altho any one of them COULD be forged, the chances of all 3 being forged is small! If the claimed revenues for 07-08 were $2150, and $4800 for the year before, that would NOT even account for the Rip Tide revenues that WERE probably actually collected over that period! NOT to mention the supposed $2400 a year from MDAC, the $750 a day pool rental fee for meets, the $1500 a season from Columbus and Reagan HS, GMAC meets, district meets, or private parties. Where is ALL this revenue reflected? Of course, if it REALLY wasnt collected, the question would have to be, WHY NOT? If it WAS collected and disappeared, the State Attorney WILL BE notified.

fraud vs grand theft

How do we know if they are residents or not, if they dont sign in and produce verifiable ID that confirms their status as a resident, or not?? How would we know how much to charge them WITHOUT some verification of who they are? Is it possible that those guys in charge DONT consider that important information for the everyday admissions OR the swim team? No sign-in, no validation (a drivers license or other ID would do nicely) and apparently NO CONCERN by management about documenting admission fees and protecting the interests of the residents! If the state AND the Health dept REQUIRE some form of identification, why is it NOT in place and used every day? Of course, if there is NONE of the aforementioned controls present and no way to tell how many admissions there REALLY were, it would be REAL EASY for some or ALL of that money to disappear. Having no controls regarding the amount of cash taken in every day is just stupendously stupid management principles and practices for any HONEST business. Highly questionable business practices at best, but maybe a pretty good idea to those who DONT WANT to be traced, tracked, or found out. It would be fraud if the numbers were altered, right? Grand theft if the cash was disappearing or just being pocketed and not recorded, right? Both are felonies, right? Tough call- we either have some of the worlds dumbest guys in charge at the pool, OR they are garden variety middle-mamagement crooks who think they are slick. No admission records, no contracts, verification of residency for the team or everyday admissions; no income to the City from meets or practices, birthday parties, or scuba lessons - add it ALL up and you get either incredibly unaccountable and unbelieveable management practices OR, felonies are taking place right before our eyes. What is the State Attorneys office number again?
