Eugene Weekly--What happened?

Was the embezzlement case from about a year ago ever concluded? Have heard it was a high level employee but there's been no news of repercussion. Anyone know?

What's wild is they claimed to know who it was pretty quick, like their article said "the accountant" was an ex cokehead who relapsed and stole all the money to leave the country.

With the owner dying, seems like there ought to be a hold on the company's transfer to the editor until the case is truly resolved.
