Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Or maybe they were marking up the official prices set by the franchise’s software, and pocketing the difference.

Maybe? If it’s a franchise. But that is still solid B territory. Changing the files would be much less obvious

Wouldn’t that get caught by the accountants when the receipts don’t match up?

Maybe they were laundering the money? (nobody really knows what that means but it's always a viable explanation)

I just looked it up in the dictionary. It means "to conceal the source of money as by channeling it through an intermediary"
