Chapter 21 - The credit-card case
Dennis eventually reported the unauthorized card charges after Cassandra failed to repay him.
Investigation found mixed authorization.
He had given Cassandra his card details for wedding purchases.
That complicated criminal intent.
The merchant had no way to distinguish approved items.
Text messages showed Dennis once wrote:
Get what you need for the dining room, within reason.
Cassandra’s lawyer argued $12,400 was within the broad permission.
Dennis disagreed.
Prosecutors declined a standalone felony case because authorization boundaries were too ambiguous.
Civilly, Cassandra repaid $7,800 under a family settlement.
Not every ugly financial act becomes a conviction.

It also kept the story honest.
