A former employee of Harvard is currently being charged with stealing
over $80,000 from the renowned school by using a credit card that they
gave him. The man ended up purchasing thousands of dollars worth of
Legos and other personal items.
Shawn Bunn, of Waltham, now has
GPS monitoring after he plead not guilty earlier this week to charges of
larceny and false entry into corporate books. Prosecutors are saying
the 33-year-old man used the university-issued credit card over a period
of four years to purchase personal items. He then covered his tracks by
submitting false reports and receipts to the university.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said: “This
is a breach of trust by a school employee. Over a period of four years
the defendant is alleged to have made personal purchases in excess of
$80,000 therefore diverting resources from the students and faculty of
Harvard University.”
We cannot even imagine how many Legos
someone can purchase with thousands of dollars. We’d love to find out,
but probably in a more legit manner, instead of stealing it from a
university.
