Dive Brief:

• A grand jury has indicted Jeffrey David Shamp on charges he stole $400,000 from Coca-Cola while working for the soft-drink giant.
• Shamp spent roughly nine years at Coke, eventually rising to senior national account executive in Massachusetts. 
• According to the indictment, Shamp pocketed American Express gift checks that were supposed to be used as incentives for employees of his customers, using the proceeds to fund personal expenses.

Dive Insight:

We will resist the urge here to indulge in outrage. Who are we to point fingers? Instead we'll just express our hope that Shamp's family and friends are spared undue shame and suffering. We'll also express our hope that Coca-Cola somehow finds a way to get the missing money to the employees of Shamp's customers who should have been the recipients of the gift checks.
