Not sure where the Bestbuy stuff is coming from, but the players used their student ID's (which have funds on them) to purchase (improper use) around $1500 worth of stuff from the bookstore & then turned around and sold them for cash.
SIAP
This makes more sense, but how in the world did they get caught? Or if they did, how did it get out? I would think kids have been doing this forever and not getting in trouble.
Think of it like a company "P card" that you can only use to purchase specific items (ex: office supplies). Well they tried to use it to make purchases in unauthorized categories (probably electronics) so that they could just turn around & sell it for cash. The reason they got caught (I believe) is because they didn't have enough money on the cards and that probably red flagged whoever reconsiles the statements & realized what they were doing.
I just figured uf would have "dealt with it internally", I'm wondering how they let it get out to the public.
