Lester T Jones...Who with a name like that might as well get his theology degree and become a Reverend, caught stealing $4m from the Hawks. He was their finance guy

Former Atlanta Hawks senior VP charged with embezzling $3.8M to buy Porsche, tickets

The SVP of finance, who no longer works for the Hawks, is accused of changing financial reports to hide his company credit card charges.
