Subject: Individual Employees fined/jailed for spoliation


I recall at the last ARMA conference in the Enron whistleblower session,
the speaker had said that individual employees have been fined and
jailed for destroying evidence or acting improperly -- even when
directed to do so by management. She gave a couple of examples -- one
involving a mid-level accounting clerk or manager who falsified
accounting entries at the request of his superiors. He ended up getting
something like 22 years in jail -- I remember this one because the
speaker had added that the man's infant daughter would be in college by
the time he got out.
 
I would like to put some bite into a training session I am preparing and
reference cases where employees have been personally disciplined (beyond
being fired), but I cannot find any references to employees fined or
jailed -- only the large awards levied against the companies. Does
anyone know of any examples I can use? It would be ideal if they were
for employees who had improperly destroyed documents since my training
is dealing with litigation holds.
