Karch claims some of Empire’s woes were due to an unscrupulous warehouse manager that was shipping product without invoicing it.

It's always somebody else's fault! If you saw shipments going out the backdoor and your AR person wasn't getting the info to invoice and process a bill, it shouldn't take long to check out the warehouse as to what's going on. Certainly not to the tune of the dollars talked about in the article..... Wonder if the LA County Sherriff's Dept has arrested said warehouse manager???
