Knottyville Country Club: An Instructional Case on Asset Misappropriation
There was a stunned silence in the courtroom as the Circuit Judge was about to announce the sentence. “You are sentenced to 15 years in prison for grand theft. Your abominable conduct ran long and deep, and it is now time to pay for it,” said the judge. The judge also suspended an additional 25 years in prison time for Fancy Rockbottom. One of the members of the country club told Fancy that she was trusted as a family member by the patrons of the club and that trust was betrayed by Fancy.
Overview of the Club:
Knottyville Country Club (the Club) caters to the desires of its 1,800 dues-paying full members, 800 associate members and their guests. It also rents out its halls and ballrooms for weddings, reunions, and other gatherings. Built on the banks of the Missouri river, Knottyville Country Club offers a variety of exciting, fun-filled activities for its members. The Club was established in 1944 with a nine-hole golf course and an outdoor swimming pool. Since its opening, the Club has steadily continued to expand. It now (in 2007) has one of the most impressive 27-hole golf courses in the upper Midwest, six tennis courts, a spectacular clubhouse with lovely views, two swimming pools, an indoor basketball court, beautiful dining rooms with chandeliers, a restaurant, a bar and other opulent amenities.

    The “target” for recruiting efforts considering the retail business and customer service job should be anyone willing to work, with ability and eligibility to work. Diversity should be focused on. The methods they use for recruiting they use are media, referrals, kiosk, state job services and recruiting agencies for customer service job are all “open” recruiting methods. Due to the high employee turnover they have to consistently hire employees and open recruiting method best serves the requirement. It ensures that a diverse set of applicants apply because it doesn’t require a pre-entry qualification and serves the purpose of high volume application. The only method that is minimally targeted is the employment agency that requires qualified or trained customer service applicants to apply for the position.…

    The first Fourth Amendment concern here is in the speed control drone that the police used to identify Kevin Kilgrave’s backpack. The drone, equipped with a high-resolution camera—one far more eagle-eyed than a human’s—discerned from afar that Kilgrave’s backpack bore images of yawning baby cats as Kilgrave was riding on public streets. Our Fourth Amendment inquiry is whether the police acquired this information via an unreasonable search.…

    This memo is regarding Hamilton Corporation and the fraud that occurred. When people make decisions they don’t always do it with the right mindset. There are limitations in our judgment processes and we can identify methods to mitigate bias and improve judgment (KPMG Judgment Framework). The four common tendencies that cause limitations in our judgment processes are, availability, confirmation, overconfidence, and anchoring. In this memo I will explain each of the four tendencies, talk about which tendency I believe to have manifested in the Hamilton case, clarify issues relating to auditing the warranty reserve and describe the alternatives that should be considered in auditing the warranty reserve, and finally provide factors that should be considered in reaching a final conclusion.…

    The word is also used as a familiar term for some crimes against property, such as burglary, embezzlement, larceny, looting, robbery, shoplifting, fraud, prowling, mugging, and sometimes criminal adaptation. Ryder and Cusack should have been put in jail for what they have done. It is not fair to the other people. Yes, if they go to jail for their crime, they might have a chance of being pulled into another crime and sent back to jail for something they didn’t do. At least they are paying the time for the crime. They still didn’t pay the time, so obviously they didn’t learn their lesson. They will probably be released out the next day or two and steal another thing because that is what people who steal do. Since Ryder and Cusack ducked away with the misconduct, they will think they might slip away with any crime so they will commit another one and another one until they get caught. Take my facts and put them into play so next time if anyone is thinking of doing anything of the above, just remember the penalties that will be given for what has been…
