But here’s the mystery angle: Why? Why, when anyone with enough sense to have a responsible job knows that purchases leave an audit trail?
Why would anyone throw away their career on some temporary luxuries, that you’ll surely have to pay back anyway? How can you enjoy soaking in a spa, when: a) your comforts are stolen from someone else, and b) someone sooner or later will notice?
You might even be surprised in the hot tub by federal agents, flashing their badges and starting to ask questions before you can even dry off.
So what’s the psychology of such self-defeating, stupid, losing behavior? Shooting yourself in the foot to get high on legal pain killers makes about as much sense. So why, why do intelligent people do such stupid things.?
