I've got a really tight nit group of friends from college, and we all do a good job keeping in touch. One of the common threads between all of us is the College Democrats, and most of us took turns rotating in and out of the executive board.

Anyway, my little brother just resumed the position of the Presidency after one of those friends of ours had it for the last school year. Not only did he tank the organization, make it totally useless and drive out almost every member of the group, but my brother found out going over the books that he'd been embezzling funds throughout the summer to pay for his personal expenses. He doesn't even know how much money he stole because he never bothered to keep track of it. He just used the organization as his own ATM machine. Not only that, but he forged the signatures of my brother and his best friend to do it, making them legally liable for the damage as well.

He should thank his lucky stars that it was my brother who found out about it instead of me. If this had happened on my watch, not only would the police have known about it, but the University Board would have as well. Since my brother doesn't exactly feel like ruining his life, that's not going to happen but we're all extremely pissed off about it. I graduated two years ago, so I suppose it's not strictly my problem, but what really frustrates me about it is the total betrayal of trust.
