Dodgy Store Managers

In remote areas of Australia, rumours abound about non-Aboriginal people with questionable ethics employed to manage the community store who exploit the unregulated environment to bleed community stores dry, who leave the community in the dead of night with a suitcase full of $100 notes, pay cash for a block of units on the Gold Coast and then move on to another community hundreds of kilometres away to do the same thing all over again, leaving the first community to pay off their debts by doubling the food prices in the store. To my knowledge no one has ever been prosecuted or convicted either because the rumours are not true, or because ultimately store managers are employees of the incorporated body set up to govern the store, which is legally and financially responsible for what happens.
