Well, you're listening enjoyment. John Lund has... Johnny Dollar. Hi Ed. Well, sure Ed, but what's the... I don't want to get a die that way. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Home Office Keystone Mutual Assurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut.

The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Ben Bryson matter. Expense account item 1, $2.40. Taxi fare for my apartment of the Keystone building and the office of Ed Murphy vice president I thought as much of an accident last month.

Vlogging night he missed a curve. Go his car off a cliff into the Pacific Ocean. What was that? Yeah, only it wasn't the end or you wouldn't call me over here. No, it wasn't, Johnny.

Within two weeks after Ben's death, we started getting complaints from some of our clients out there. The man's for adjustment on claims Bennett reported pain weeks before, requests for settlement so on. We couldn't figure it.

We went to work quietly and we found out. Oh, you found out what? Ben's accounts have been ducked for a long time, Johnny. They were short, way short. And the months before he was killed, he'd embezzled nearly $80,000 from the company.

You know that. You left a lot of questions, Johnny. I've got to be answered. An $80,000 of the company's money is missing. I have to be counted for them. Yeah, I know that maybe you ought to get somebody else's.
