Controller stealing from Murks

[Sandy Dollar]

Someone told me Village Market had someone steal money from them. Is this true or is it someone still trying to get even with them for all the trouble they caused Meijer?

Yea it's all over the news ... Chris Pratt was his overseer and took like 6 1/2 million and bought cars and homes in Kalamazoo and is now under investigation of the FBI ..

whilst not advocating the crime committed, one of the news stories cites that the employee in question had his hours cut to part time, was making 15,000 a yr. One of the things I have seen in my experiences on jobs is that if you want honest employees, you pay them well and treat them well. I have met employees from VM and they are not treated well or paid well. It's as awful as walmart. Yes, he will go to jail for this. Hurry up, Meijers!

Heard there is more to the story than meets the eye. I mean really - how can a local business not miss 6 million plus dollars? Maybe Pratt is just the fall guy.

Read the WWMT article. I found it interesting that the FBI was involved.

More than meets the eye....is it true that while investigating yet ANOTHER local embezzlement, this operation of Chris Pratt's was stumbled upon? South Haven needs a good spring cleaning.

I worked for VM for 6 years and contributed money to a 401 K and profit sharing and should've had money to roll over to a pension plan, and never saw anything after successfully giving 2 weeks notice and leaving! Talk about some good people to work for!

What have you done to try and get your money from Murks? I hope you are trying to get it back. That is what they like people who don'e fight back. Do everyone and yourself a favor and do something avbout your problem.
Good luck...keep us posted.

So what ever happened wt this anyway?

[corrector]

Thanx for the tip. My hours were just cut.

[Wondering]

What happened to this Pratt guy? Did he get jail time?

[Downtown guy]

He pleaded guilty Thursday.
Will get up to 20 years in prison, but likely less than 20 years.

[In the know]

Guarantee that he has money stashed in Aruba. When u steal that much you d be a total dumba$$ to stay and wait to get caught. Was he married, kids? If so that's nice..

[kzoo]

he is married, with two little kids. I wonder if his wife knew about this. If not, what a surprise.
