r2d2 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 A former Austin Library employee is accused of stealing $1.3M in printer toner. City auditors in Austin, Texas, say a former public library employee fraudulently bought $1.5 million in printer toner, stole at least $1.3 million worth and then sold it online. Auditors got a tip in March 2019 that Randall Whited was storing the stolen printer toner in his garage until he could sell it, according to a 72-page report dated October 2020. Whited was an accounting associate for the Austin Public Library and was responsible for making and approving purchases, cash receipts, billing and other accounting transactions, the report said. The report also said Whited had access to ten library credit cards and put at least $18,000 on them to buy items that appeared to be for personal use -- including video games, virtual reality headsets, robotic vacuums and a drone. The report said auditors reviewed a sampling of receipts, purchase orders and other supporting documents and found "found multiple examples of inadequate records" -- including some that were altered or showed his home as the shipping address. Whited resigned in lieu of termination in August 2019 because of an unrelated issue, the report said. "The Library's poor practices and procedures provided an opportunity for Whited to steal from the City during his tenure, leading to waste and overspending by the department." The auditors referred the issues to the Austin Police Department, the report said. "We are investigating the allegations and are anxious to examine the evidence in this matter," Whited's attorney Bill Hines told Quote
