• Former Home Depot manager accused of $4.3M fraud scheme in Florida (king5.com) — A suspected multimillion-dollar fraud scheme at a Home Depot store in Hialeah Gardens was first uncovered when internal systems flagged unusually large discounted transactions there. Investigators say the former manager’s markdown practices across several Miami-area locations may have cost the company about $4.3 million, and he now faces felony fraud and grand theft charges while being barred from Home Depot stores.
