As manager of motel, I let a guest acquire a large past due balance of her rent knowing she was waiting for income tax refund check. We had done similar deal in past which she made good.Therefore I cashed the refund of $900 also to make sure $400 balance got paid,then giving her $500 cash. She moved before I tried to deposit US Treasury check. Bank didn't want to accept 3rd party. I went to her and she refused to cash herself. I waited hoping for a change of heart. Meantime, I covered the $900 to the owners with personal money. Recently discovered she had check reissued and cashed it. I have the first check with her endorsement on back and receipts for cashing originally. So she stills owes $400 for motel services and got $500 cash + another $900 from IRS. Fraud, theft of services or what?
