										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a dark day in a Dallas Federal Court room Tuesday as Sandy Jenkins of Dallas based Collin Street Bakery plead guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering, &nbsp;mail fraud, and making a false statement to a financial institution.</p>
<p>Far from a modest and secreted scheme, sixty five year old Jenkins allegedly engaged in a nine year scheme that included over two hundred private airline flights, lavish homes, and a vacation home.</p>
<p>Collin Street Bakery is famous for its cakes and confections, their fruit cakes being distributed around holiday <img loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-74 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/legas.legrandelaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/collin-street-bakery-300x158.jpg?resize=300%2C158" alt="collin street bakery" width="300" height="158" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/legas.legrandelaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/collin-street-bakery.jpg?resize=300%2C158&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/legas.legrandelaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/collin-street-bakery.jpg?w=484&amp;ssl=1 484w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" data-recalc-dims="1" />time and distributed nationwide.</p>
<p>This is yet another example of the entitlement culture that has taken over large corporations.&nbsp; Working hard for your brand, fighting and vying for superiority in your industry is fine, hell, its American.&nbsp; But a perversion has developed as we see the growing and growing disparity between the corporate elite and their workers &#8211; for some of them, why make more money when you can steal it?&nbsp; I could name off dozens of corporate executives that have either bilked their investors out of money, misappropriated funds, or flat out stolen cash outright from their companies.</p>
<p>Very seldom do they engage in these schemes as a way to cheat to get ahead in their business, if that did it for that reason there is an argument to be made that it could be forgivable.&nbsp; No, they did it so they could have 5 Bentley&#8217;s instead of one.&nbsp; They stole the money so they could take private jets to Tahiti every weekend for a month, instead of just for Christmas vacation.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see how this turns out.&nbsp; But as I have observed, it seems like those that steal with a pen rather than with a firearm seem to do alright &#8211; and I highly doubt that he will spend his last days on this earth in prison.</p>
