DOBSON, N.C. — Four years of investigation and legal proceedings in an embezzlement case that netted about $2 million from a Bassett Furniture case goods plant here ended on Tuesday, according to a story in the Mount Airy News.Lisa Marie Galyean Martin was given a series of monthly terms, all of which were suspended except for 10 days in jail and probation for 36 months, plus community service, restitution and a fine, the story said.
Martin was believed to have played a key role in the embezzlement scheme, since she was in charge of computers at the plant and could obscure tracking of furniture produced there, the story said. The plant has since been closed.

10 days for 2 Million Dollars? Thats justice! I say she should do a day in jail for every dollar she stole! 2 Million days in jail. This tells us that white collar crime definitely pays, where do we all get in line?
