He is stealing from crooks, is that a crime?

We talked about this in my audit class, apparently it's a pretty common thing to do.
Also sending companies stuff that they didn't order, but will pay for anyway.

Isn't this what a "purchase order" is for?

How often does it get caught vs. just paid and no one notices?

Depends on how many "diversity hires" a company has. As has been already shown, Google must have achieved 100% diversity in their accounting department.

If a company doesn't have controls to match invoices with orders, it will be paid pretty much 100% of the time. Any serious company will have such controls by now, I imagine.

Not quite that simple.., even if they make a mistake it can can back to haunt you.....
Anecdotal: I was flat broke, wife and kids, I’m using the credit card for groceries waiting everyday for a cheque to arrive. It’s only $1300 but it is due and I need it fucking bad! Day after day hoping and waiting, mr postman, please..please, my credit card is almost dead......
Then mr postman showed up with some bills...., and a cheque.! Ya fuck ya! Back in business! Open the envelope, look at cheque made out to my name in the amount of $135,000.00.
Fuck. Do I cash it? No. Can not cash huge cheque because company that made mistake would never do business with me again.., besides the fact I would have to pat it all back...,
Holding a fortune, thinking, maybe just cash it and run to Mexico.., fuck the family, fuck everyone......,
Decided better, sent it back, waited another week for $1300 bucks....

I would have deposited it. Then acted like I didn't even notice.
