We’ll say that again. An employee of a bank embezzled $5.4 million dollars before being caught.

Some checks he stole outright, others he used to buy rolls of stamps, and sell them to Mystic Stamp Company in New York at a 20% discount.

It wouldn’t be known how much money he had with the way he lives, an average house with a 20 year old car. However, he is very into producing movies and past members of films he worked on were surprised at the high budget he would allow for the filmmaking.

The Eagles now have the best selling album of all time. Almost a decade after Michael Jacksons death, his album Thriller has been overtaken by Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975.

The Recording Industry Association of America has recently recalculated sales for the Greatest Hits album and it is now certified as a 38x platinum album, going ahead of the 33x platinum Thriller.

Eagles’ Don Henley said in a statement “We are grateful for our families, our management, our crew, the people at radio and, most of all, the loyal fans who have stuck with us through the ups and downs of 46 years. It’s been quite a ride,”.

The album did spend a nearly a decade as the best selling album, until Thriller took over the number 1 slot following the King of Pops death in 2009. Now in the digital age, streaming and digital downloads of the Eagles Greatest Hits are up helping push them back into the drivers seat.

Several sightings of coyetes in the Atlantic Beach area have neighbors on alert. Wildlife is starting to dimish, and family pets are going missing. Right now the city is working with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to determine what the next step will be. Right now they are urging people to keep reporting sightings.

For now, walk all pets on a leash, and keep trash cans inside. The fear is that soon they will pounce on all of the cats and look to the next food sourse.
