Wow just think what you could do with $1.5 million dollars in chicken wings.

if they all flapped together how much lifting capacity do you think they might have?

Wasn’t this the pilot of an episode of “Community”?

Oh wait, those were chicken fingers. No bones.

Now the shortage is starting to make sense, this is probably just one out of dozens of chicken wingpins.

As I included details as to how she was caught, aka oversight, you know I read the article, yeah? Its easier for the one in the position of power to "get away" with a scheme, but not forever.

They better set the bail high, otherwise he might be a …… flight risk.

She had to be running or supplying a restaurant with that quantity. I would think there would be others involved.

No word on where they went. And how little they paid. In cash of course.

I'm excited for more details about this one.

In this articles and others they never say what she did with them. In one article it said they followed her undercover and saw her show up to pick up the wings, sometimes before the place even opened. Hopefully they fill us in.

This was caught in a mid school year audit and they acted quickly. The person in charge of the audit had been on the job for 10 days. If this had been going on for 19 months (she started working in a "consultant" capacity for the district she had been working for over a decade) where were the mid year audits before? Should have been atleast 1 other mid year audit. Not to mention end year and budgeting for the next year.

The distributor didnt neccesarily need to know the wings weren't something the district used because of bones but its suspicious they didnt notice something was off. The invoices were paid so why would they question it I guess?

Covid happened and kids were not in class but the district was still providing meals. Is this just a covid chaos oversight or is there more to this? Where did the wings go? Did she sell them or did she know someone in with distribution?

That's enough money embezzled that even after sentencing they will probably end up profiting.

They denied her bail because she was a flight risk.

The defended objected saying that the judge had a bone to pick with her.

The judge replied that he actually prefers boneless.

Buys $1.5 million worth of chicken wings for “school lunch”. Meanwhile, school cafeterias: “we don’t serve chicken wings..because bones.” Criminal mastermind

>Surveillance video showed Liddell would arrive at the Gordon Food Services facility to pick up the food, sign an electronic keypad acknowledging she received the chicken wings and then billed the school district for the items, according to the proffer.

So this master criminal would place the order in her own name, show up in person to pick up the ill-begotten wings, and then sign for them herself!

All while blowing through the school's entire lunch budget less than halfway through the school year.

I mean, how did she ever think there was a chance at getting away with this?

How much time do you think you get for 11,000 cases of chicken wings? In my mind, she’s playing the long game. In 10 years (with good behavior), she gets to come home to a lifetime supply of chicken wings. #WorthTheRisk

… and before y’all say she’ll have to hand over the wings if she still has them, I’ll say that you don’t steal 11,000 cases of chicken wings without a plan.

I guess more specifically I'm curious where she sold them. Obviously she didnt eat 11,000 cases. Just doing dumb math. Took place over 19 months, there are 578 days. 11,000 cases divided by 578 is about 19. So every single day without fail she would have to go and pick up 19 cases of chicken. I doubt she didnt take a day off but that puts it into perspective. 1.5 million divided by 11k is about $136 per case which sounds right from my past experience working in restaurants. That's a lot of chicken. Did she have a deal with local restaurants who didnt say anything because they got a deal? Was she Robin hood and donated it? Did she know someone in distribution (the people who loaded up her van before the distribution center opened) and then she just driver behind the building and gives back the chicken and they continue to sell it as normal so now that money is essentially laundered and they just balance the books and take cuts? The cops followed her so they know but nothing else has been included. The wingspericy is interesting.

Chickens can fly high enough to get into the canopy of trees. Thats where they would normally roost. Their wings get clipped so they dont fly off. The modern chicken is a distant descendant of a bird from Asia but domesticated chickens can still fly high enough that coops would have to either have really tall fences or some sort of roof enclosure. I have seen domesticated chickens that didnt have their wings clipped and they could easily get up into tall oak, maple, and pine trees.

I've never seen a man eat so many chicken wings!

Chickens weigh an average of 7.5 pounds and lets assume they can generate enough lift to barely get off the ground so lift = weight = 7.5 pounds

The cost of chicken is around $1.50 per pound in Chicago. So homegirl stole approximately 1 million pounds of chicken or 133,333 chickens.

1 million pounds of chicken equals 1 million pounds of lift force. So she stole enough chickens to lift several M1 Abrams tanks. Puts into perspective just how much she stole. Or puts into perspective that chicken powered flight would be cheap af.

This reminds me of the time when I worked for Red Robin and the dishwasher at the time stole all the beef and hid it all in the dumpster.
