On the arrest of a mentor

Boston Shorty's heart broke when she heard that a mentor of hers at Tufts had been fired for allegedly embezzling $300,000:

... At first there was the shock, then the sadness, then anger, then justification, rationalization and everything else that comes along with the stages of grief. But now, I just feel hollow. It's as if whatever shred of faith I had left in humanity has been wiped away. My trust is gone. People more often than not disappoint, so what is the point in believing or trusting at all? It ends in heartache. And my heart aches. ...

Meanwhile, Philip McCarthy reports he worked for her during his time as a Tufts student, and cautions there are still unanswered questions about the missing money:

... Lo, mystery and intrigue have descended upon Walnut Hill! Is the Office of Student Activities merely the first layer to be peeled back on the rotten black banana of a new academic shakedown racket perpetrated by the nefarious Winter Hill Gang? Will the stench of corruption forever taint the reputation of the august Universitatis Tuftensis like a whorehouse at low tide? Will Al Capone's gang rule the streets of Chicago forever? Gosh, life on the Medford/Somerville line hasn't been this exciting since Jessica Beil lived in South Hall.
