Exercise 5

Bernard Saul was a salesperson for A. P. Walter Company, a wholesale auto parts business, assigned to the D S Auto Parts account. Mr. Saul took inventory at D S each week and phoned in an order to Walter to cover the needed inventory replacements. Between 1976 and 1982, Mr. Saul ordered parts from Walter and invoiced D S, but he actually kept a portion of the parts for himself, sold them to other dealers, and pocketed the money. Through an audit, D S discovered that it had paid $155,445.20 for parts that were not received. Can Mr. Saul be charged with any crimes? Can Walter be charged with any crimes?
