Why do they insist on telling us she's a great-grandma, is that supposed to elicit sympathy for her? She's a person who used her position of treasurer to steal money, full stop, the fact that she reproduced does not bear any weight in the story.

Anyway that is such a shitty thing to do, but thankfully the vast majority of treasurers across the country are trustworthy and manage their funds well.

Because old = good duh. The same reason that 80 year olds who mow down a family in their SUV and "don't know what happened" don't deserve prison time.

The truth comes from the font of knowledge herself - thank you grandma.

What, having great grand kids or stealing money? Both sound like a lot of faff I don't have that kind of energy 😂

Stealing money pays off tho, can't say as much about the kids lol
