It doesn't sound like his plan to repay the $9 million up-front payment over time according to the original payment schedule is likely to have worked.

Now, if he'd restrained himself to the $4.4 million that no one actually knew about, then it really would have come down to an observant HR exec. But, of course, the kind of guy who pulls a scam like that probably doesn't know how to restraint himself.

Yup, his scheme had plenty of pitfalls, obviously. Which is why people didn't really buy the notion that he was going to pay restitution down the road.

Really, the only thing which could explain how someone could come up with something like that is pure complacency and foolish, short-term greed. Reality has a way of catching up with these games; it's not something anyone would want to get involved in otherwise.
