I guess there is not one institution in this country that doesn't have money junkies at the top, no matter how small:
"Father, son accused in embezzlement" by Jarret Bencks | Globe Correspondent, December 28, 2012
A father and son who ran the West Medford Hillside Little League embezzled more than $50,000 from its accounts, including pocketing money from its snack stand, and left the league with only about $100, according to the office of Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone Jr. and league officials.
Stanley Komins, 78, of Stoneham served as president of the league for more than 20 years and his son, Stephen, 45, was its treasurer “for many years,” said a statement from Leone’s office.
The statement said that the elder Komins wrote $38,000 in league checks to himself between 2007 and 2011 and that his son wrote $4,000 in checks to himself between 2007 and 2009 and also wrote checks to an unnamed friend, who would then give the cash back to him, for an unspecified amount last year.
“This father and son allegedly used their leadership positions to steal from the youth little league, taking money that was meant to be used for the West Medford youth baseball community for their own personal use,” Leone said. “The defendants violated the trust of parents, players, and the community.”
