Greetings. I dare say that many of us have a love/hate relationship with Fry's Electronics, and their massive, themed stores. There are several of them here in the L.A. area, and my favorite is the SciFi themed (the UFO crashed into the building!) site in Burbank (apologies for the horrid cell phone camera photo -- from more than four years ago -- at the link). The store a few minutes from me in the West San Fernando Valley is themed to Alice in Wonderland throughout.

Fry's has always seemed to have a highly disciplined, very much top-down management style -- to say the least. If you've been there, you know what I mean. Fry's has been the "go to" place for immediate access electronics parts for many years.

Now comes word that the single individual reported to be ultimately responsible for merchandise stocking at all Fry's has been arrested in a $65M embezzlement case, complete with gambling debts and private jets to Vegas.

And that's no white rabbit.
