It started in 1999 when a new accounting software system was installed.
Postmasters are the ones in charge of the individual post office branches.
The software was showing that money was missing from the branches,the postmasters were tried and jailed in prison for fraud.
They could not prove that they did not take the money because the postmaster general said the software did not lie.
Flash forward it has been determined that the software was in fact faulty and a $58 million dollar settlement with the postmasters has been approved.
They are also pressing to have criminal charges levied against the software provider because reports have come out by X employees that they knew the software was defective.
The postmasters accused of fraud in the 60 to 70 thousand dollars range were all long term employees,one even had thier baby while in prison.
That is insane when we place technology over guilt or in innocence.
