The improbability of George Santos' $199 expenses

4. I don't know what's going on there but I've done something similar

At the company I used to work for, anything expense over $25 required a receipt. There was a few times when I had a legitimate expense, but I had lost the receipt.

So if I had a meal that I spent $28.99 cents on, but had lost the receipt, I would ask for a reimbursement of $24.99.

Now mind you I even told my boss this and he seemed unconcerned. (We could also fill out a bunch of paperwork regarding the lost receipt, but neither of us wanted to do that)

That practice meant that I lost $5 instead of losing $28.99.


Is that what's going on there with Santos? I have no idea. But I was reminded of this.
