    A long time ago in my country there was a minor scandal with a mid-level government employee sending about $1 million dollars to an obviously fake firm to purchase equipment. The website was made earlier in the year. The site was a thin veneer, with a few incomplete product documents.

    The money was never recovered. Nobody was ever held responsible. A million dollars of tax payer money disappeared into somebody’s pocket just like that.
