According to today's Daily News:

a man swiped $3.6 million from a city bank account to purchase jewelry, electronics and even an SUV! The man was not caught until an $800,000 buying spree at Jewelry Television tipped off the company to alert JPMorgan about suspicious activity who, in turn contacted the Controller's office.

My question is, how could the Controller's office not find $3.6 million missing from a city bank account? This went on for over a year. We have to ask ourselves, how competent is Billy Thompson to be Mayor of this city if he cannot even control a city bank account? Can we trust him to negotiate a legitimate City budget year after year?
