Big RIP. And I'm terrified of accidentally using my corp CC for a personal gas fill up because it looks similar to my personal card I use for gas lol.

Looks like the person also issued the credit to their own personal CC then turned around and bought a Tesla and other high priced items. If they woulda kept it in believable amounts, didn’t flash the money around, and kept it off their own personal cards they might have gotten away with it.
I worked in corporate IT at my companies HQ a while back. My office was right next to the head of internal legal or something like that. Basically his job was to deal with people charging personal expenses to their corporate CC; internal fraud stuff. I had water cooler talks with him in the hall and he would mention frequently it’s always the dumbest ones who do it and they always go all in. It’s never a few hundred here and there. It’s always absurd amounts of charges and always the most obvious indicators (like we as a chemical company don’t purchase from luxury clothing brands).

That’s what I’ve started doing as well.
