Sorry, Mom: Son Steals $1M From Family-Owned Printer

BRENTWOOD, MO—This rises a few levels above pilfering a fiver from mom's purse and, suffice to say, it's too late to put it back before she finds out.

Michael Britt took the forgery route to stealing from his mother's firm, Gene-Del Printing. St. Louis County prosecutors nailed Britt with 13 counts of forgery for skimming a little more than $1 million. Britt worked as a bookkeeper at Gene-Del between July 2, 2010, and June 14, 2011, according to the St. Louis Today Website, but his thievery started prior to being employed there.
