UK Practice Manager Lynn Macdonald Accused of Embezzling When Dentist Was Ill; Steal of £12,500

Lynn Macdonald, practice manager of a dental practice in Kelty, Fife, Scotland, was accused of embezzling from the practice while her employer, Paul Eynon, was away recovering from a serious illness. Eynon discovered the financial discrepancies upon his return. Macdonald had worked at the practice for several years and was trusted with full financial authority during his absence — illustrating how periods of reduced owner oversight dramatically increase embezzlement risk.
