Crooks Get Severence Packages Too...

David Dingwall resigned from his post as the president of the Royal Canadian Mint after allegations that his enormous expense account wasn't all for business. This guy had a salary of over $200,000 a year, and charged up his Golf Club fees to the Mint. He charged up a lot of stuff to the Mint. He and his aides spent a TON of money for meals, travel and just about everything, that us taxpayers have to cover. This is over and above his salary. Now, they are ironing out the details of a severence package.
I am dumbfounded. Of course, if there is an investigation, and the guy is shown to be innocent, then by all means, give him some slack. But if the allegations of his spending are true, then how can they even think of giving him a severence package? He should be paying back what he charged up...
